A lottery will determine ballot placement for 2013 Municipal Election, and it is open to the public.
The Registrars of Voters, plan to have the lottery at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Although the organization of the ballot by parties is determined statewide, the lottery will determine “horizontal order of candidates for multiple-opening offices” for the Nov. 5, 2013, municipal ballot in Ridgefield. Under state law, similar lotteries are conducted in towns and cities all over in the state.
“All candidates, party members and the public are welcome,” says a notice from the town’s two registrars of voters, Republican Hope Wise and Democrat Cindy Bruno.
