Judicial elections

Judicial elections are processes where voters choose judges for courts, often through a political election. Candidates typically campaign, highlighting their qualifications and philosophies. The goal is to select judges who are fair, impartial, and capable of upholding the law. These elections can be partisan, involving political party support, or nonpartisan, where party affiliation isn't listed. While they promote democratic participation, concerns include the influence of money and politics on judicial neutrality. Overall, judicial elections aim to ensure judges are accountable to the public while maintaining judicial independence.
