More succinctly, it’s a two step random draw process, first to determine their order in the draw and second to determine their placement on the ballot. This event brought Republican candidates or their representatives seeking federal, state or county offices together with supporters and spectators Thursday, December 21st. 2023 to participate or witness the draw. Smiles, cheers, and congratulations punctuated the evenings activity of determining the ballot order for the March 5th 2024 Primary Election.
