The artwork has several messages behind it.

“I thought they should be holding hands and in different skin colors because I know there have been some difficulties about which skin color, which I think is stupid,” Crutchfield said. “I thought that everybody should work together. Like everybody working together could make the world a better place.”

Crutchfield loves the freedom art gives her. 

“I can express myself and you’re free to draw anything that you want,” she said.

The 11-year-old won’t be casting a ballot for at least another seven years, but it’s not stopping her from being part of the process.

“That stuff is exciting! I want to be involved!” she said. “Whenever you make a decision that’s important, I mostly feel good about it.”

Residents can pick up a new "I Voted" sticker on Election Day Nov. 8.
