Ballot positions had to be redrawn when a sixth candidate withdrew after petitions had been filed. The withdrawal led to reopening of the petition process, which then forced the second round of drawing lots for ballot position. The original ballot lineup had Tully in first, followed by Dwyer, Hebert, Spector and Cahill.
Lots were drawn Thursday morning.
