        I think I’ve gotten one of those stickers once in my decades of voting. I never outright ask, and most times they’re out on the table or whatever… But no, they don’t give them out like they’re receipts.

        However, giving each person a receipt would probably be pretty trivial…

      As it is, they record who votes. It’s how you can have multiple polling locations avaialbe but can only vote once.

      It’s not a huge leap from that to being able to prove to your employer that you voted.
