FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 P U BLIC RANDOM CANDIDATE DRAWING 

  

Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean Logan announced today that a public random drawing will be held on August 14 at 11:00 a.m. at RR/CC headquarters, 12400 Imperial Highway, 2^nd fl., Norwalk, CA to determine candidate positions for state legislative races included on the November 4, 2008 General Election ballot in Los Angeles County.

 

The drawing consists of randomly choosing letters of the alphabet to determine corresponding candidate names for positions on the ballot.  For example, if the letter “C” is chosen and corresponds to a candidate whose last name begins with the letter “C”, that candidate is placed in the first position on the ballot.  If there are two candidates whose names begin with the letter “C”, a second letter is chosen to determine which candidate assumes the first position and so forth.  The alphabet sequences resulting from the random drawing determine the order of candidate names only in the Los Angeles County portion of state legislative districts shared with neighboring counties.

 

The districts that share Los Angeles County with other county jurisdictions are State Senate Districts 17, 19, 23 and 29 and State Assembly Districts 36, 37, 38, 41, 56, 59, 60 and 61.

 

Further information about the drawing can be obtained by calling the RR/CC’s Election Planning Section at (562) 462-2317.

 

Persons requiring multilingual assistance in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino, or Vietnamese regarding information in the press release, may call (800) 481-8683.
