Meet the Artist Behind the Crawfish on Louisiana’s ‘I Voted’ Sticker

If You Voted in the 2024 Presidential Election, You Were Probably Gifted a Fancy Sticker.

Did you know that cute little character on your sticker has a name? His name is Marc DeBallot, you get it? Shreveport's very own Bill Joyce took to his Instagram to share all about Marc "This festive fella is named Marc DeBallot. I created the official “I Voted” sticker for the state of Louisiana this year. It was one of my favorite gigs ever. An absolute delight to do. And made me feel good. Voting. It’s an honor and privilege to have a voice amid all this madness. Thanks to Secretary of State Nancy Landry for asking me and her staff for being so supportive #vote #voting #votingmatters #election2024 #election #democracy #whistle"
