    Election rules[edit]

    Primary election[edit]

    Judges of the district courts run in nonpartisan elections after four-year terms. If more than two candidates file for one seat, they will compete in a primary election. If one candidate receives a majority of the votes in the primary election, that candidate is elected and does not need to run in the general election. If no one receives a majority of the votes, the two candidates with the most votes will compete against each other in the general election.[1]

    General election[edit]

    If two candidates are competing for one district court seat, their names will appear on the ballot for the general election. Unopposed candidates do not appear on the ballot.[2]
