Summary

Deputy Director Jude Seymour and staff described the mechanics of the random-number drawing: staff announced numbers and the deputy director read resulting ballot order aloud; the process concluded with the reading of all contests' orders.

Board staff explained the mechanics during the drawing: for each contest staff announced a random number (a "ball") and the deputy director read the ballot order determined by those numbers. Seymour introduced the session, identified Director Amy Connolly, and repeatedly clarified pronunciations as needed.

The process was presented as procedural and administrative; the transcript records no objections, challenges, or board motions related to the drawing. The deputy director closed the session when all listed contests had their ballot positions recorded.
