O'Donnell won re-election without appearing on a ballot in 2016 because no challengers emerged by the May 2016 filing deadline.[1] In counties with a population that is greater than 100,000, if only one superior court candidate files for election for a judgeship, that candidate is automatically elected and the county does not hold a general election for the seat. According to the 2010 census, the following counties have a population greater than 100,000:[2]
