How North Texas has voted in recent presidential elections
FOX 4 took a look at the results of each presidential election in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties since 1992 to see how some things have changed and others have stayed the same.
The contest asked for creative designs for an adult sticker and for children who come with voters.
Mareily Lopez, a student at Samuell High School in Dallas ISD, won the adult sticker contest.
Elizabeth Ojo, from Arlington ISD’s Sequin High School, was the "future voter" design winner to hand out to young children.
"When I was creating this sticker, I was thinking about how when I was little, I would always go to the voting area with my mother. I would always be a little jealous that she would get a sticker, and I wouldn't," Elizabeth said. "So when I was designing this, I was just thinking about that, and I decided to put the idea down on paper… I wanted to capture a childlike essence, so I used my left hand to draw everything out."

"I want to say that I'm thankful for this opportunity. I also thank Mr. Wiley for pushing me to get in this contest because I'm an artist," Mareily said. "I’m really proud I'm getting to represent."
The girls were each presented with baseball caps with the design they created.
The new stickers will be available at all Dallas County voting locations.
