Press release from Alex Padilla California Secretary of State: August 12, 2021 SACRAMENTO, CA – Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber's staff today held a randomized alphabet drawing to determine the order that replacement candidates' names will appear on the November 2, 2021 Odd Year Election ballots. The results of today's drawing are as follows: This alphabet applies throughout the candidate's name, last name first, followed, if necessary, by first name, then middle name. If more than one candidate's last name begins with the same letter, the alphabet applies to the second letter and, if needed, the third, etc., until different letters appear in the same position. For example, if two candidates with the last names Campbell and Carlson are running for the same office, their order on the ballot will depend on the order in which the letters "M" and "R" were drawn in the randomized alphabet drawing.
