March 24, 2018 - California has one of the most complicated rotation laws in the country - the order of candidates on the ballot will rotate, depending on where voters live in Orange County.  For most contests we arrange the names of the candidates according to the randomized alphabet for the First Assembly District.  Then for each succeeding Assembly District, the name appearing first in the last preceding Assembly District will be placed last, while the order of the other names will remain unchanged. Got all of that? The practical effect is that while a candidate may enjoy first position on the ballot in one city, they may be last in the neighboring city.

You can view the random draws on our website.
