§ 915Casting of Lots for Position of Names Upon the Primary Ballots or Ballot Labels; Notice to Candidates

Immediately after the last day fixed for filing
of such nomination petitions with them, the Secretary of the
Commonwealth or the county board, as the case may be, shall fix
a day for the casting of lots, in such manner as may be

prescribed by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, or county
board, as the case may be, for the position of names upon the
primary ballots or ballot labels. The Secretary of the
Commonwealth shall give at least two (2) days notice by mail
of said date to all candidates whose petitions have been
received and filed in his office, and the county board shall
give at least two (2) days notice of said date by posting
thereof in a conspicuous place in its office, and by publication
once in at least two newspapers of general circulation published
in the county. All candidates may appear in person, or by agent
duly authorized by letter of attorney, signed and acknowledged
by an officer empowered to take acknowledgments. In the event
of any of said candidates not being present in person or by
representative at the time of casting of lots, it shall be the
duty of the Secretary of the Commonwealth or the county board,
as the case may be, to appoint some person to represent such
absentee. After said lots are cast, the Secretary of the
Commonwealth or the county board, as the case may be, shall
accordingly establish the order in which the names of said
candidates are to appear upon the primary ballots or ballot
labels, and certify the same for placing upon the official
primary ballots or ballot labels.
