Election rules

Primary election

Primaries are held only if more than two candidates file for a position. These contests are nonpartisan in nature.[1] The two candidates who receive the greatest number of votes in the primary advance to the general election. Until 2013, a candidate who won over 50 percent of the vote in the primary was then unopposed in the general election. But the law was amended in 2013. Since that amendment, the top two finishers in a judicial primary must advance to compete with each other in the general election.[2][3][4]

General election

In counties with a population greater than 100,000, if only one superior court candidate files for election for a judgeship, that candidate is automatically elected and the county does not hold a general election for the seat.[5] According to the 2010 census, the following counties had populations greater than 100,000:[6]
