Ballot positions to be drawn Aug 9 at 3 p.m.

An official drawing to determine ballot position for races on this November’s general election will be conducted at the County Clerk’s Office August 9th at 3 p.m.

Because County Clerk Jeff Parrott is running for office this year and his name is on the ballot, Deputy Clerk Angela Rosa will be conducting the draw in his place.

The draw will first determine which of the two major parties will appear in first position on the ballot, and then will determine order among candidates in specific races.

Once available, the result of the drawings will be posted to the Clerk’s website under “Who’s On the Ballot.”
