(a) The full names of all candidates seeking membership in the City Council, except those who have withdrawn, died, or become ineligible, shall be placed on the official ballots without party designation or symbol under a heading reading: "Candidates for Councilmember" and also stating the district in which the candidate resides. If there are two or more candidates from the same district, the voter shall be instructed to vote for only one of them. The failure of a voter to cast a ballot for any candidate from one or more districts shall not invalidate his votes cast for candidates from any other districts.
(b) If two or more candidates for the same office have the same surnames or surnames so similar as to be likely to cause confusion, their residence addresses shall be placed with their names on the ballot.
(c) The names on the ballots shall be listed in the numerical order of the districts, and the ballots shall otherwise be in accordance with the requirements of general law.
