Why are the Parties listed in that order?
The order is decided by random drawing, with the two major parties listed before the other recognized parties; start reading at line 57 of the State Board of Elections Minutes for details of this year's process. Virginia Code §24.2-613.B provides that political party identification be shown on the ballot ONLY for federal, statewide, and General Assembly candidates. It does not appear on the ballot for any other candidate.
