[Art. 4] JUDICIARY DEPARTMENT 105

such Judges to be either the Chief Judge of the Seventh Circuit and one
associate Judge or two associate Judges of said Circuit. In case any can-
didate or candidates for associate judge at any judicial election held in
the seventh judicial circuit shall receive sufficient votes to cause such
candidate or candidates to be 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 some 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 candi-
dates a sufficient number of associate judges duly qualified as to residence
as above set out should not be elected at any election in said seventh judi-
cial circuit, then it shall be the duty of the Governor to order a new elec-
tion for such unfilled office or offices. ]¹

[Sec. 21. For each of the said circuits, excepting the eighth, the sec-
ond, the third and the sixth, there shall be a chief judge and two asso-
ciate judges, to be styled judges of the Circuit Court, to be selected or
appointed as herein provided, and for the second circuit, the third circuit
and the sixth circuit, there shall be a chief judge and three associate judges
to be styled judges of the Circuit Court, to be elected or appointed as herein
provided. And no two of said associate judges, for any of the said circuits,
except the third and sixth circuits shall, at the time of their election or
appointment or during the term for which they may have been elected or
appointed, reside in the same county. If two or more persons shall be can-
didates for associate judge in the same county in any of the circuits, except
the third and sixth circuits, that one only in said county shall be declared
elected who has the highest number of votes in the circuit. In case any two
candidates for associate judge in any of the circuits, except the third and
sixth circuits, residing in the same county shall have an equal number of
votes greater than any other candidates for associate judge in the circuit,
it shall be the duty of the Governor to order a new election for one asso-
ciate judge; but the person residing in any other county of the circuit and
who has the highest number of votes shall be declared elected. The said
judges shall hold not less than two terms of the Circuit Court in each
of the counties composing their respective circuits, at such times as arc
now or may hereafter be prescribed to which jurors shall be summoned;
and in those counties where only two such terms are held, two other and
intermediate terms, to which jurors shall not be summoned; they may
alter or fix the times for holding any or all terms, until otherwise pre-
scribed, and shall adopt rules to the end that all business not requiring
the interposition of the jury shall be, as far as practicable, disposed of
at said intermediate terms. One judge in each of the above circuits,
including the second, the third and the sixth circuits, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of any business; and the said judges or any
of them may hold special terms of their courts, whenever in their dis-
cretion the business of the several counties renders such terms necessary.

¹ This amendment, providing for additional Judge in 7th Circuit, was submitted by
ch. 200, 1939, and will be voted upon by the people in Nov. 1940.
