For the mayor's race, David Goins will be first on the ballot followed by incumbent Brant Walker. The city clerk's race will have Daniel Herkert as the first candidate and Cheryl Ingle as the second candidate. The other two candidates Lori Bockholt and Steven Kimbrough will appear as they filed.

In the fourth-ward race, incumbent Tammy Smith will be placed first on the ballot and Rosetta Brown will be placed second. In the fifth-ward race, incumbent Charles Brake will appear first and Michael Batchelor will be second on the ballot.

City Clerk Mary Boulds said the City of Alton follows the Illinois State Board of Election rules and guidelines for the lottery ballot placement.

She said it is a tradition for most Alton candidates to be there at 8 a.m. on the first day to file to be placed in the lottery for ballot position.

"For example, both Mayor Walker and mayoral candidate David Goins were here at 8 a.m. on the first day to file," Boulds said. "City Clerk candidates Cheryl Ingle and Dan Herkert were also here at that time to be placed in the ballot position lottery."

Boulds is retiring in May 2021 after 38 years of city service.

Walker commended all who have entered their names on the ballot for all the offices.

"I say bravo to anybody who wants to go into public service and make a difference," he said. "These are challenging and unprecedented times with the COVID-19 Pandemic."
