## Selection[edit]

See also: Nonpartisan election of judges

Justices of the Minnesota Supreme Court are chosen in nonpartisan elections and elected to six-year terms. Candidates compete in primaries, from which the top two contestants advance to the general election.[2] Sitting justices must run for re-election if they wish to serve additional terms. While party affiliation is not designated on the ballot, incumbency is.[2] Interim vacancies are filled via gubernatorial appointment. Appointed justices serve until the next general election occurring more than one year after their appointment.[2] They may then stand for election to a full term, and other candidates may file to run against them.[3]

### Qualifications[edit]

Justices are required to be "learned in the law" and under 70 years old. Sitting justices who reach the age of 70 while in office are allowed to serve until the last day of that month.[2][4]

### Selection of the chief justice[edit]

The chief justice is directly chosen by voters in a nonpartisan election. He or she serves in that capacity for a full six-year term.
