Election rules

Primary election

Only district court judges in districts that hold partisan elections participate in the primary. The candidate with the most votes from each party in the primary goes on to represent that party in the general election.[1]

The districts with partisan election of judges are:

General election

Appellate judges and appointed district court judges participate in retention elections. Candidates in the districts above advance from the primary election.

Retention election

In retention elections, judges do not compete against another candidate, but voters are given a "yes" or "no" choice whether to keep the justice in office for another term. If a candidate receives a majority of "yes" votes, that person is retained for another term. If not, that position will become a vacancy upon the term's expiration.[3]
