Late yesterday, the City of Vancouver drew names to determine the sequence of candidates on this year's election ballot.

In the past, names have been listed in alphabetical order.

Some have argued that this favoured those with surnames starting with "A" and "B" because they showed up near the top.

This year, however, it could be even tougher finding candidates' names precisely because they won't be in alphabetical order.

That's as a result of votes by city council and the school board.

Below, you can see the way they will appear. Take note of OneCity council candidate Brandon Yan—he's the only one with his name also written in Chinese characters.

Two Coalition Vancouver school board candidates, Ken Denike and Sophia Woo, recently launched a legal challenge in response to this.
