The Oregon judicial elections of 2010 consisted of a Primary Election on May 18, 2010 and a General Election on November 2, 2010.
If a candidate for nonpartisan office is running against at least one other candidate, she or he must receive at least 50.01% of the vote in the primary election to win. If no one receives a majority in the primary, the two candidates with the most votes advance to the general election.[1]
Overview
Up for election in Oregon in 2010 were two seats on the Supreme Court, three seats on the Court of Appeals and several county court positions.[2] Judges on the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and Circuit Courts are all elected to six-year terms.[3]
Supreme Court
Position 4
- Supreme Court Justice Rives Kistler ran for re-election. He was re-elected with 98.8% of the vote.[4]
Position 5
- Judge Jack Landau, of the Oregon Court of Appeals, ran for a seat on the Oregon Supreme Court vacated by Michael Gillette. Administrative law judge for the Oregon Public Utility Commission, Allan J. Arlow, also ran for the seat.
