Each local election official of a political subdivision in which candidates
for the respective local offices are nominated at the consolidated primary
shall, no later than 5 days following the canvass and proclamation of the
results of the consolidated primary, certify to each election authority
whose duty it is to prepare the official ballot for the consolidated
election in that political subdivision the names of each of the candidates
who have been nominated as shown by the proclamation of the appropriate election authority or who have been nominated to fill a vacancy in nomination
and direct the election authority to place upon the official ballot for the
consolidated election the names of such candidates in the same manner and
in the same order as shown upon the certification, except as otherwise
provided by this Section.

Whenever there are two or more persons nominated by the same political
party for multiple offices for any board, the name of the candidate of such
party receiving the highest number of votes in the consolidated primary
election as a candidate for such consolidated primary, shall be certified
first under the name of such office, and the names of the remaining
candidates of such party for such offices shall follow in the order of the
number of votes received by them respectively at the consolidated primary
election as shown by the official election results.

No person who is shown by the election authority's proclamation to have
been nominated at the consolidated primary as a write-in candidate shall
have his or her name certified unless such person shall have filed with the
certifying office or board within 5 days after the election authority's

proclamation a statement of candidacy pursuant to Section 7-10 and a

Each board of election commissioners of the cities in which established
political party candidates for city offices are nominated at the
consolidated primary shall determine by a fair and impartial method of
random selection the order of placement of the established political party
candidates for the consolidated ballot.  Such determination shall be made
within 5 days following the canvass and proclamation of the results of the
consolidated primary and shall be open to the public.  Three days written
notice of the time and place of conducting such random selection shall be
given, by each such election authority, to the County Chair of each
established political party, and to each organization of citizens within
the election jurisdiction which was entitled, under this Article, at the

candidates for the consolidated election ballot and, in the case of certain
municipalities having annual elections, on the general primary ballot for
election.  Such determination shall be made prior to the canvass and
proclamation of results of the consolidated primary or special municipal
primary, as the case may be, in the office of the local election official and
shall be open to the public.  Three days written notice of the time and
place of conducting such random selection shall be given, by each such
local election official, to the County Chair of each established
political party, and to each organization of citizens within the election
jurisdiction which was entitled, under this Article, at the next preceding
election, to have pollwatchers present on the day of election.  Each local
election official shall post in a conspicuous, open and public place notice of
such lottery.  Immediately thereafter, the local election official shall
certify the ballot placement order so determined to the proper election
authorities charged with the preparation of the consolidated election, or
general primary,
ballot for that political subdivision.

prepare the official ballot for the consolidated election in that political
subdivision the names of each of the candidates whose certificates of
nomination or nomination papers have been filed in his or her office and
direct the election authority to place upon the official ballot for the
consolidated election the names of such candidates in the same manner and
in the same order as shown upon the certification.  Such local election
official shall, prior to certification, determine by a fair and impartial
method of random selection the order of placement of the established
political party candidates for the consolidated election ballot.  Such
determination shall be made in the office of the local election official
and shall be open to the public.  Three days written notice of the time and
place of conducting such random selection shall be given by each such local
election official to the county chair of each established political
party, and to each organization of citizens within the election
jurisdiction which was entitled, under this Article, at the next preceding
election, to have pollwatchers present on the day of election.  Each local
election official shall post in a conspicuous, open and public place, at the
entrance of the office, notice of the time and place of such lottery.  The
