About Gum Election

Gum Election 2011

Gum Election 2008

Gum Election is a guerilla art project which started in New York City in October 2008. It encouraged people to vote during the presidential election in 2008 and also not to spit out their chewing gum carelessly on New York Cities already dirty streets. Now the Gum Election is back and New Yorkers are voting again “who’s sucking the most”.

If you want to bring the new AT&T vs. Verizon Gum Election to your city, print out the poster, fill the streets and send us pictures. To download the poster click on the image and save it to your desktop. It’s a 150dpi 11 by 17 jpg.

    This is in St. Louis down on the Delmar Loop. I saw it days ago and knew it had to come from NY. I’m going to plaster them all over on Election Day for the non voters and kiddies. Fun concept.
