What do cats, video games and drum kits have in common? All of them can be used in the service of democracy, at least according to a cohort of outstanding European illustrators.

Ahead of the elections to the European parliament on 6-9 June, illustrators from each EU state have designed posters on the theme of democratic participation – with their subjects as diverse as the countries themselves.

Their vibrant designs are part of the Get Out & Vote initiative, a campaign – which also features showcases across European cities and an AR exhibition – in support of European unity and values, spearheaded by non-profit creative studio Fine Acts.

Crucially, all works are published under an open licence, so that anyone – bar political parties or entities – can use them non-commercially to spread the message of the importance of voting.
