There are nine Supreme Court justices, and Washington residents will vote for three in 2008. Each of the three incumbent justices who ran for re-election this year received more than 50% of the ballots cast in the primary election. Accordingly, each of them will appear unopposed on the November 4 general election ballot. |

Court of Appeals
Division Three, District One
Judge Kevin Korsmo received more than 50% of the votes cast in the August 19 primary, and he will accordingly appear on the November 4 ballot unopposed.
Superior Court
Superior Court judges are elected to four-year terms. All Superior Court positions throughout Washington are up for election in 2008.
In counties with a population of less than 100,000, all Superior Court candidates will appear on the August 19 primary ballot, regardless of whether they face opposition. If there is a contested primary election, a candidate receiving more than 50% of the votes will appear on the November 4 ballot unopposed. If no candidate receives more than 50% in the primary, the two receiving the most votes will appear on the November 4 ballot.
No candidate received more than 50% of the votes in the primary election, so the two candidates who received the most votes will appear on the November 4 ballot.
