PRIMARY BALLOTS (§ 24.2-529)

The primary ballots for the several parties taking part in a primary shall be
composed, arranged, printed, delivered, and provided in the same manner as the
general election ballots except that at the top of each official primary ballot
shall be printed in plain black type the name of the political party and the
words &#8220;Primary Election.&#8221; The names of the candidates for various
offices shall appear on the ballot in an order determined by the priority of the
time of filing for the office. In the event two or more candidates file
simultaneously, the order of filing shall then be determined by lot by the

No write-in shall be permitted on ballots in primary elections.
