This is a parts kit that when soldered together, makes either an "I Voted" or "Yo Voté" badge that you can "pin" to your clothes with the two enclosed magnets. And a battery IS included! It has 2 switches - an ON/OFF and a BLINKING/SOLID. So if you're sensitive to flashing lights, you can still wear it proudly in solid mode.
Want a badge that's already soldered? Check out our I Voted Blinky Badge - Pre-assembled!
Soldering Instructions are available on Hackaday! This can totally be your first soldering project, although it always helps to have someone skilled in soldering to show you the ropes the first time. Don't have a mentor handy? Check out this excellent guide and also our Youtube video on how to solder. Anyone already familiar with electronics should have no problem putting it together from the photos and silkscreen cues.
I thought we all needed something to make voting a little more fun this year, and to encourage everyone who can, to VOTE! Voting is a privilege that not all US citizens have - there are millions living in US territories who are prevented from voting, and more who are currently living abroad and due to COVID, won't receive or return their ballots in time. Everyone who can, must vote!
