  • For every regular election and for every special election called to fill one or more vacant places on the council, the city clerk shall place upon the official ballot the name of every candidate who shall file an application which complies with the provisions of this Charter. The council places to be filled shall be placed on the ballot in numerical order. The name of each candidate shall be placed on the ballot under the designated place for which he or she shall have filed, and in such manner that the names of the candidates for each place shall be clearly separate and distinguishable from the names of the candidates for every other council place. The order on the ballot of the names of the candidates for each respective council place shall be determined by lot in a drawing to be held under the supervision of the city clerk, at which drawing each candidate or his or her named representative shall have a right to be present.
