Election rules
Nonpartisan election
In the nonpartisan primary, the two candidates who receive the greatest number of votes advance to the general election. If only two candidates file for one judicial seat, both candidates advance to the general election.[1]
Retention election
If an incumbent is running unopposed, the incumbent judge will appear on the ballot for retention.[2]
The ballot for a retention election reads: "Shall (insert title of officer) (insert name of the incumbent officer) of the (insert title of the court) of the state of Montana be retained in office for another term?" Voters must then answer with either "Yes" or "No."[3]
