Selection

See also: Judicial selection in Washington

Each division of the Court of Appeals is subdivided into three geographic districts for election purposes. The districts are not divided evenly according to population, but the districts containing higher populations usually elect more judges. Each judge is elected by a district's voters in nonpartisan elections to six-year terms. If a seat becomes vacant between elections, an interim judge from the corresponding district is appointed by the governor and he or she must run in the next regularly scheduled election to finish the remainder of the term. Elections are staggered so that one-third of the judges, in each of divisions 2 and 3, face an election each even-numbered year. There is an election for at least one Division 1 judge every year.

The judges of each division annually select from among themselves a chief judge to handle administrative details for the division. All 22 judges annually select a presiding chief judge to oversee business matters among the three divisions.[2]

Qualifications

To serve as an appellate judge, judges must have practiced law in the state of Washington for at least five years and must have been a resident of the district they represent for at least one year.[2]
