I'm not sure if the actual candidates in the election are randomly ordered, but I've noticed that as the default (is rightly imo) set to show the highest voted answer - currently David PostillDavid Postill appears to be the 'most popular' candidate.
However in the respects of being fair, and ensuring that everyone has a equal chance of being 'top' and being viewed first by any readers - is it possible to randomise the order at which the answers appear?
This should likely apply to nominations; answered questions, preliminary and election stages too.
