Adams County News and Information
Design a New “I Voted” Sticker for the Elections Department

The Adams County Elections Department would like to have a new, custom “I Voted” sticker for upcoming elections, and we’re seeking talented Adams County high school and college students to design it.

“Engaging today’s youth in the electoral process is a major part of my mission in my new role,” says Josh Zygielbaum, Adams County Clerk and Recorder. “This is a great opportunity for students to share their creativity and to learn something about elections and the process. My office is very excited to see the designs they create.”

Students can submit hand-drawn or digital artwork now through Tuesday, April 30, 2019. Prizes will be awarded to the winner and their classmates. For more information and to learn how to enter, visit AdamsVotes.com/contest.

Contest Rules
  • Students must keep their original artwork—we’ll need it to make the new stickers
  • Designs must say “I Voted” or “I Voted in Adams County”
  • Submissions must be non-partisan
  • Students should consider elements representative of Adams County
  • Students and/or parents must be willing to allow us to use artwork for upcoming elections

US Census Bureau - Now Hiring


The Census Bureau is working to fill thousands of positions nationwide in order to update this address list. As of March 4, more than 170,000 recruits had already completed job applications to qualify for temporary census jobs and more than 800 had been hired.
More will be hired through the year for jobs in the spring and summer of 2020. That’s when census workers knock on doors to interview people who don’t respond to the census.
Applicants can qualify for both field and office positions. The office positions, which are more limited, will be located in area census offices. The role of these offices is to recruit, select, hire, train, manage, and pay all office and field staff who work within the designated boundaries of the geographic territory assigned to the office.
Between January and March 2019, 39 area census offices for the Address Canvassing operation will become ready for business (see 2020census.gov/jobs/locations/national-map.html for a map and pay rates). Ultimately, another 209 such offices will open by September as the 2020 Census gears up for peak operations. That includes going door to door to follow up with households that don’t initially respond.

Easy to Apply

Applying for one of these jobs is simple. Just visit 2020census/jobs or call 855-JOB-2020 and select option 3 for more information. Pay rates for field and clerical jobs can be found at: 2020census.gov/jobs/locations/national-map.html.
Those who are being considered for a position will receive a telephone interview. If offered a job, they will receive instructions on next steps via email.
Applicants will need to complete paperwork online and make an appointment to get fingerprinted for the background check. Once they are offered the job, there will be a period of time before their start date to allow time for the background clearance process. To search for possible management positions, go to USAjobs.gov.
If applicants are not selected for the Address Canvassing operation, they may be called later if positions open later this year or in 2020. Their applications will remain on file.
