PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Incumbent Daniel Bianchi's name will sit atop the November ballot.
 
The ballot placement drawing, which sets the order in which names will appear, was held Friday afternoon by Assistant Clerk of Elections and Registration Michelle Cetti and Senior Clerk Catherine Van Bramer.
 
Representatives from each campaign sealed their candidate's name in a small envelop and the clerks pulled them from a box to determine the order.
 
Bianchi's name will read first on the ballot in the race for mayor. Challenger Linda Tyer's name will appear below. 
 
For at-large candidates, the order will read: Churchill Cotton, Peter White, Taylor DiSantis, Melissa Mazzeo, Kathleen Amuso, Peter Marchetti, and Joe Nichols.
 
The top four vote-getters will win the at-large seats.
 
In the wards, the order is:
  • Ward 1, Tammy Ives, incumbent Lisa Tully.
  • Ward 2, incumbent Kevin Morandi, Michael Merriam.
  • Ward 5, Donna Todd Rivers, Richard Scapin.
  • Ward 7, Kathy Lloyd, incumbent Anthony Simonelli.
The three uncontested wards will have one name each, all incumbents: Ward 3, Nicholas J. Caccamo; Ward 4, Chris Connell, and Ward 6, John Krol.
 
Also running unopposed is Jody Phillips for city clerk.
 
Joshua Cutler's name will sit atop the list of nine candidates running for School Committee. Cutler will be followed by Irwin Moiseff, Salvatore Frieri, Anthony Riello, Daniel Elias, Cynthia Taylor, Pamela Farron, Katherine Yon, and Richard Backer.
 
The top six vote-getters in that race will win seats on the committee.
 
The general election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 3; polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
