## Election rules[edit]

### General election[edit]

Judicial candidates compete in a nonpartisan general election on the same day as the primary for non-judicial elections. If no candidate wins a majority, the two candidates with the most votes participate in a runoff. If a runoff is required, it takes place on the same day as the general election for partisan races, and runoff candidates appear on the general election ballot.[1][2]
