2026 Primary Election Voter Guide

Artist Statement

This illustration conveys the complex relationship between voters and politics today and the power of community. After the turmoil of recent elections and the volatility of the current political climate, many voters are fatigued and stressed.

Acknowledging everyone’s inner child and deep-seated fears, voters are depicted in the illustration as young people in pajamas and costumes.

This illustration encourages voters to come as they are to the polls, even if it means coming tired and in our pajamas, it’s important to exercise our right and come together with our community to make our voices heard.
