#### Selection method[edit]

See also: Nonpartisan elections

There are 597 judges on the Florida Circuit Court, each elected via nonpartisan elections. They serve six-year terms, after which they must run for re-election if they wish to retain their seat.[1]

The chief judge is selected by peer vote and serves in that capacity for two years.

Qualifications
To serve on this court, a judge must be:[1]

* a qualified elector;
* a state resident;
* admitted to practice law in the state for five years; and
* under the age of 75 (retirement at 75 is mandatory).

### 2016[edit]

See also: Florida local trial court judicial elections, 2016

Florida's 20 circuit courts all had seats up for election in 2016. Of the 151 seats up for election, 125 saw only one candidate file for the election. The unopposed races were canceled and the sole candidates were automatically elected. Of the 26 opposed races, only 10 saw more than two candidates file. Candidates who received a majority of votes cast in the primary election on August 30, 2016, won the race and did not advance to the general election. Races where no candidate receives 50 percent plus one of the votes cast required a general election on November 8, 2016, between the top two primary vote recipients. Mark Blumstein and Luis Perez-Medina defeated Renee Gordon and Denise Martinez-Scanziani in the Group 34 primary election for Florida's 11th Circuit Court.[2]
