Janet Boudreau, who owned the election supply business Intab, designed an "I Voted" sticker in 1987.
In recent years, some states have held "I Voted" sticker design contests with unusual winners.
One of the earliest mentions of "I Voted" stickers dates back to a 1982 Miami Herald article about discounts offered to customers wearing the stickers, Time magazine reported.
Even so, stickers were rarely given out on Election Day until 1987, when Boudreau took over Intab, her father's election supply business then based in Seattle.
