cuit herein provided for (shall be elected by the qualified
voters of Baltimore and Harford Counties, at the first elec-
tion that shall be held in said counties subsequent to the
adoption of this amendment, and the Judge so elected) shall
be subject to the same constitutional provisions, hold his
office for the same terms of years, receive the same compen-
sation and have the same powers as are herein provided
for the other associate judges in the third circuit.

The additional judge for the sixth circuit herein provided
for shall be elected by the qualified voters of Frederick and
Montgomery Counties at the first election that shall be held
in said counties subsequent to the adoption of this amend-
ment and none shall be appointed before that time. The
judge so elected shall be subject to the same constitutional
provisions, receive the same compensation and have the
same powers as are herein provided for the other associate
judges in the sixth circuit. The Chief Judge may be elected
from either Frederick or Montgomery Counties, but when
the Chief Judge is elected from Frederick County one of
the associate judges shall be a resident of said County and
the two remaining associate judges shall be residents of
Montgomery County and when the Chief Judge is elected
from Montgomery County one of the associate judges shall
be a resident of said Montgomery County and the remaining
two associate judges residents of Frederick County. In
case any candidate or candidates for associate judge at any
judicial election held in the sixth judicial circuit shall
receive sufficient votes to cause such candidate or candidates
to be declared elected, but the election of such candidate
or candidates would cause more associate judges than herein
permitted to reside in any county of said circuit, then and
in that event only that candidate or those candidates, as
the case may be, residing in said county in the order of
the votes received shall be declared elected whose election
would provide the permitted number of associate judges
from said county and the candidate or candidates as the
case may be, residing in the other county, and not similarly
disqualified, who shall have the next highest number of
votes in said election shall be declared elected. If, by reason
of such a condition or by reason of an equal vote for two
or more candidates a sufficient number of associate judges
duly qualified as to residence as above set out should not be
elected at any election in said sixth judicial circuit, then it
shall be the duty of the Governor to order a new election for
such unfilled office or offices. (1)
