If no candidate for any one position receives a minimum of fifty percent plus one of the total votes for such position, the superintendent of public instruction must call a run-off election between the two candidates receiving the two highest vote totals for such position. The call for run-off election will include an updated election timeline. Ballots will be mailed to the same list of electors as were issued ballots for the initial election. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by lot drawing. To conduct the lot draw, the superintendent of public instruction, or designee, will place both names in a container and randomly draw one of the names. The lot draw will be conducted at the office of the superintendent of public instruction and will be witnessed by the three member election board. The candidate whose name is drawn will be deemed elected.
