Superior CourtSuperior Court judges are elected to four-year terms. All Superior Court positions throughout Washington are up for election in 2008. If only one candidate runs for an office in a county with a population of more than 100,000, that candidate receives a Certificate of Election, and the position will not appear on either the primary or the general election ballot. If there is a contested primary election and one candidate receives more than 50% of the votes cast, the winning candidate receives a Certificate of Election, and the position will not appear on the general election ballot. If no candidate in a contested primary election receives more than 50% of the votes cast, the two candidates receiving the most votes appear on the general election ballot. No Thurston County Superior Court positions will appear on the November 4 general election ballot. |

District CourtDistrict Court judges are elected to four-year terms; they were elected in 2006, and their terms extend through the end of 2010. Some positions may appear on the 2008 ballot. Judge C.L. "Kip" Stilz died in June, leaving a vacancy in the District Court. There was a special 3-day filing period for this position, on July 8-10, and 12 candidates filed: William Bayness, Jodi Erikson-Muldrew, Jim Foley, Bill Gilbert, Lynn Hayes, Sans Gilmore, Phil Kratz, Sam Meyer, Jamie Moore, Laura Murphy, Greg Rosen, and Ken Valz. This election did not appear on the primary ballot; instead, all candidates will appear on the November general election ballot, and the candidate who receives the most votes at that time will be elected. |
