(a) Names on Ballots. The first name or initial, middle name or initial and family name of all candidates nominated for Mayor or City Council, except those who have withdrawn, died or become ineligible, shall be printed on the official ballots without party designation or symbol under the heading "Mayor" or "City Council". If two or more candidates have the same family name, their residence shall be printed with their names on the ballot.
(b) Rotation. The names of all candidates for an office shall be arranged in a group under the title of that office, and shall be so alternated that each name shall appear, insofar as may be reasonably possible, substantially an equal number of times at the beginning, at the end, and in each intermediate place, if any, of the group in which such name belongs.
