Sticker voting is like a public survey. You post a large sheet of paper in a common space, like the lunchroom or hallway. On that sheet of paper, you should write a clear question that is easy for everyone to understand and a list of possible options. You then handout stickers and encourage people to vote with their sticker.
You may also want to have YPE members stand near the paper to answer questions, explain why you're collecting data, and encourage others to participate. Sticker voting is a great tool to figure out generally how people feel about an issue or topic.

You may want to give meaning to the color of the stickers. For example, if you want to know how students in different grade levels or who identify with a race/ethnicity feel about an issue, you can assign those demographic categories a color. This allows you to breakdown your data analysis into these categories.
An alternative version of sticker voting is tallying. If you don't have access to stickers, you can give people a marker and ask them to make a check mark or other symbol next to their choice.
