August 18, 2016 - For every election a random draw of letters is conducted, which is then used to determine the order that candidates will be listed on the ballot. Today a random draw was conducted by the Secretary of State - here's the order:

1. O, 2. K, 3. W, 4. Q, 5. V, 6. S, 7. D, 8. R, 9. N, 10. H, 11. U, 12. E, 13. X, 14. A, 15. P, 16. I, 17. Z, 18. C, 19. G, 20. L, 21. F, 22. Y, 23. T, 24. M, 25. B, 26. J

The alphabet is applied throughout the candidate's entire last name, so if more than one candidate's surname begins with the same letter, the second letter of the surname determines who goes first.
