election his successor shall be elected by the qualified voters
of Caroline, Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties,
constituting the second circuit. The judge so appointed 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 second circuit,
and the judge so elected shall be subject to the same constitu-
tional provision, hold his office for the same term of years,
receive the same compensation, and have the same powers as
are herein provided for the other associate judges in the second
circuit.
The additional judge for the sixth circuit herein provided
for and elected by the qualified voters of Frederick and Mont-
gomery Counties at the 1938 election in accordance with the
terms of the Constitutional Amendment heretofore submitted
and adopted shall be subject to the same constitutional pro-
visions, receive the same compensation and have the same
powers as are herein provided for the other associate judges
in the sixth circuit and his successor shall be appointed and/or
elected in accordance with the constitutional provisions relat-
ing to judges. The Chief Judge may be elected from either Fred-
erick 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 as-
sociate 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 can-
didates would cause more associate judges than herein per-
mitted 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 per-
mitted number of associate judges from said county and the can-
didate 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.
