Sesame Street
As Election Day approaches, the beloved characters of Sesame Street are taking a moment to send heartfelt messages to people of all ages, encouraging kindness, participation, and the power of community. With their timeless wisdom and unconditional love, Elmo and his friends are reminding us that our voices matter and that everyone’s opinion is worth hearing. Here’s a look at some of the heartwarming messages from the characters ahead of this important day.
Elmo’s Message: The Power of Your Voice Sesame Street
“Hi, friends! Elmo knows that Election Day is coming up, and Elmo wants to remind you that your voice is important! Voting is a way to show how you feel about the world around you. Elmo’s friend, Abby Cadabby, says voting is like making a wish, but instead of waving a wand, you fill out a ballot!
Elmo believes that everyone, no matter how small, has something important to say. You might not be able to vote yet, but you can still help your grown-ups. You can ask questions, learn about the candidates, and share how you feel about what’s happening in your community. That way, when you grow up and it’s your turn to vote, you’ll be ready to make your voice heard!
So remember, voting is a way to make the world a better place, and Elmo knows that you will grow up to be an amazing voter who makes great choices for the future. Stay curious, stay kind, and always remember that your voice matters!”
Big Bird’s Message: Embracing Differences Sesame Street
“Hi, everybody! Big Bird here! I’m so excited that Election Day is coming up, because it reminds me how lucky we are to live in a country where we can all share our thoughts and ideas. People might not always agree, and that’s okay. We all have different opinions, and that’s what makes our community strong!
The most important thing is to always treat each other with kindness, even when we disagree. Whether you’re voting or just talking about the election with your friends and family, remember to listen carefully, be respectful, and celebrate the things that make each person unique. We’re all part of the same big neighborhood, and together, we can make it better.
Election Day is about more than just voting—it’s about coming together to make decisions that will help everyone. So, when you go to the polls, remember that you’re helping to build a world where everyone feels heard and valued. Let’s all do our part to create a better tomorrow!”
Abby Cadabby’s Message: Magic of Participation
“Hi there! It’s me, Abby Cadabby! I want to talk to you about something really important: Election Day! It might not seem magical, but there is a lot of magic in voting. When you vote, it’s like you’re casting a spell for your community, your country, and your future!

And guess what? You don’t have to be a grown-up to be part of the magic! You can ask questions, learn about what’s going on, and share your thoughts. When you’re older, you’ll have the chance to make your own choices and help decide what’s best for everyone. Just like I use my wand to create good things, voting Sesame Street helps create a world where people’s voices can be heard and where everyone has a say in the future.
So, remember to believe in the magic of participation! It’s not just about the people who vote—it’s about the spirit of kindness and fairness that we all share. And that’s the most magical thing of all!”
Cookie Monster’s Message: Choosing Wisely
“Me, Cookie Monster, have something very important to say! Voting is like choosing your favorite cookie. But it’s not about cookies—no, no! It’s about choosing the best options for everyone, not just yourself. It’s about picking what’s good for your community and your country, just like when you choose what kind of cookies to share with your friends!
Me love cookies, but me also know it’s important to make wise choices. Election Day is a time when everyone gets to decide what’s best for all, not just for one person. So remember, when it’s your turn to vote, pick wisely! Think about what will make the world a better place for everyone, and always share with your friends, just like sharing cookies!
And remember, whether you’re voting or eating cookies, always be kind and fair, and make sure everyone has a chance to be part of the decision. That’s how we all win!”
Grover’s Message: A Super Hero’s Call to Action
“Hello, my friends! Grover here, your favorite superhero in blue! Today, I want to talk to you about something very important: Election Day! It’s like a special mission where you get to be a hero for your community. Yes, you, a hero!
Voting is one of the best ways to be a super friend to your neighborhood and your country. You get to make big decisions and help guide the way. And just like any hero, you need to make sure you’re prepared! You can talk to your parents, read about the candidates, and think about what will help make the world better for everyone.
But being a hero isn’t just about voting—it’s about how you treat others, too. So no matter who you vote for, remember that you should always be respectful of other people’s choices. That’s what makes you a true superhero, and together, we can all create a better world!”
Rosita’s Message: Community and Connection
“Hola, amigos! Rosita aquí! Election Day is coming soon, and I want to remind you how important it is to stay connected with your community. Voting is a way to come together and make sure that everyone’s voice is heard. It’s like when we all sing together on Sesame Street—it’s so much better when everyone participates!
Whether you’re voting now or just helping out, you can make a difference. Talk to your neighbors, ask questions, and always listen to what others have to say. We may speak different languages, live in different places, and have different ideas, but we all want the same thing—a better, kinder world for all of us.
Remember, when you grow up, voting is your chance to help make the world a place where everyone belongs. Until then, let’s continue to work together to create a community filled with love, understanding, and respect!”
The Count’s Message: The Importance of Numbers
“Ah, ah, ah! It’s your favorite number lover, The Count! I want to talk to you today about something that’s not only important but also very, very exciting—Election Day! Voting is all about counting, and when you vote, you’re helping to count the voices of everyone in your community. It’s like counting how many stars are in the sky, but instead of stars, you’re counting the wishes and hopes of everyone who wants to make the world a better place.
Every vote is important! Whether you are voting for the first time or you’ve done it before, remember that your voice is a number that counts. So, as Election Day comes closer, remember to count your blessings, count your friends, and, most importantly, count on each other to make the world a better place for everyone!”
As Election Day nears, the Sesame Street characters offer a timely reminder that while voting is a serious responsibility, it’s also an opportunity to show care for others, make thoughtful choices, and embrace the power of community. Whether we’re young or old, we all have something valuable to contribute, and together, we can make the world a better, more loving place. Just like Elmo, Big Bird, Abby, and all their friends, we each have the ability to create positive change through our actions, our words, and our votes.
