Candidate order is determined by the number of votes received in the Primary Election. The candidate receiving the most votes appears first on the General Election ballot. If no Primary Election was conducted for the office, the order of appearance on the ballot is determined by the lot drawing conducted on the last day of filing at 5:00 p.m. in the Thurston County Auditor's Office.
