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 third and sixth judicial cir-
cuits, then it shall be the duty of the Governor to order a
new election for such unfilled office or offices.
The additional associate judge for the seventh circuit
herein provided for shall be appointed by the Governor
immediately after the adoption of this amendment and
shall serve until the first general election for members of
the General Assembly that shall be held in said circuit
subsequent to the adoption of this amendment, at which
election his successor shall be elected by the qualified
voters of Prince George's, Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's
Counties. No member of the General Assembly of 1939,
otherwise qualified, shall be ineligible for appointment or
election as such associate judge by reason of his member-
ship in the General Assembly. The judge so appointed
shall be subject to the same constitutional provisions, re-

as are herein provided for the other associate judges in
the seventh circuit, and the judge so elected and his suc-
cessors shall, subject to the same constitutional provisions,
hold 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 seventh
circuit. No two of the associate judges for the seventh
circuit 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, except in Prince
George's County, in which county two of said associate
judges for the said circuit shall reside at the time of
their appointment or election and during the term for
which they may have been appointed or elected unless
the chief judge of said circuit shall already reside in said
county, in which event only one of said associate judges
shall reside in Prince George's County and Prince George's
County shall at all times have two resident Judges and no
more, 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 candidate 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
