Amends GS 163-165.6 to require that candidates appear on a ballot in either alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order by the candidates's last name, with the order determined each election by drawing at the State Board of Elections after the closing of the filing period for all offices on the ballot. Makes a conforming deletion of the the statute's provisions that established ballot placement for candidates on a county's ballots, for candidates on a general election ballot, and for candidates for judge of the Court of Appeals on general election ballots.
