: The Local Elections Reform Act, 1993, permits Council to regulate the order of candidates’ names on a ballot to be determined by “Lot”. If Council agrees to not enact a bylaw to this effect, then candidates’ names will be altanged alphabetically by surname as has been done traditionally in Port Coquitlam. It is thought that if candidates’ names are arranged by "Lot", confusion during the counting of the ballots may ensue and possibly result in an inaccurate count. (section 107(1))
