The studies I have read indicate that ballot order makes little difference in races with less than 6 or 7 candidates.
Those studies indicate that first place is best, second and last place are second best and next to last is worst.
Here is the order in which those on the ballot to replace Mike Tryon will appear:
- Paul Serwatka
- Dan Wilbrandt
- Allen Skillicorn
- Carolyn Schofield
