16-332. Election of justices of supreme court
or judges of court of appeals by declared terms
A. In any election at which two or more justices of the supreme court or judges of
the court of appeals are to be voted for or elected for the same length of term, it shall
be deemed that there are as many separate offices to be filled as there are judges of the
court to be elected. Each office shall be designated by a distinguishing number, as
"term number one expiring the first Monday in January, 19___". The court or division
concerned shall, on or before April 30 of each election year, designate the members of
the court who hold such terms of office which expire in January next following such
election year.
B. The designation shall remain the same for all purposes of both the primary and
general election and shall be used on all nominating petitions, nomination papers,
ballots, certificates of election and all election papers referring to the office. After
election and the issuance of the certificate of election, the designating number shall
have no further significance.
