Ballot Draw will proceed as follows:
- The Candidate List is compiled first by office and then by filing date. Ballot positions will be drawn in this order.
- Candidates who attend are invited to draw first, even if their name is not listed first on the Candidate List. If multiple candidates are present, filing order will be used to determine which candidate will draw first
- A candidate may send a representative to draw in their place. However, candidates in attendance take precedence over candidate representatives.
- A candidate or candidate representative may draw one time only.
- If neither candidate nor candidate representative is present, the Election Commission will draw to determine ballot positions.
