The process of chief judge selection varies by district, as does the chief judge's term length.[3]

Qualifications
To serve on this court, a judge must:[3]

  • be the minimum age of 35;
  • have at least six years legal practice;
  • be a state resident for at least three years; and
  • be a district resident.

Judicial elections in New Mexico

See also: New Mexico judicial elections

New Mexico is one of seven states that use partisan elections to initially select judges and then use retention elections to determine whether judges should remain on the bench. To read more about how states use judicial elections to select judges across the country, click here.

Retention election

In these elections, judges do not compete against another candidate, but voters are given a "yes" or "no" choice whether to keep the judge in office for another term. The retention elections are held on general election day. In a retention election, a candidate must receive 57% of the vote to be retained.[4]
