The paid-for line
New York treats bumper stickers, buttons and similar items of nominal value as promotional items: when one carries only the name, the office and a brief message of support, it does not need the "Paid for by" line. Federal rules exempt bumper stickers and buttons as small items too. Every template here keeps the line anyway, in type small enough to stay out of the way, because it settles the question when a sticker carries more than a slogan. A group spending on its own, not with the candidate, has its own disclaimer wording to check.
Which sticker for which job
- Bumper stickers, 11.5" × 3": the name the whole block sees at every stop sign, from the last name alone to re-elect with the district.
- Vote yes: a proposition, one reason in two short lines, and the committee that paid for it. A school district cannot spend district money asking for a yes vote; a parent group paying its own way can.
- The round sticker, 2" to 3": the candidate and the office, for lapels, clipboards and literature bags.
Timing
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and early voting runs from Saturday, October 24 through Sunday, November 1. Stickers are ready 5 to 7 business days after you approve the proof, so order for the first rally rather than the last weekend. While the polls are open, campaign buttons and stickers stay out of the polling place and 100 feet from its entrance, so remind volunteers to take theirs off before they vote.
