(b)  Not less than 10 Commission members shall be
present at a voting session.

(c)  The Commission shall select and nominate to
the Governor the names of persons it finds to

qualified. No person's name may be submitted
unless the person has been found legally and
most fully professionally qualified by a vote
of a majority of the members present at a
voting session, taken by secret ballot and
unless the person has been interviewed by the
Commission or a panel thereof. The secret
ballots shall be sealed and delivered to the
Administrative Office of the Courts and may be
opened only by demand of the Governor or by
court order.

(4)  The Commission shall report to the Governor, in
writing, the names of the persons it nominates as
legally and most fully professionally qualified to

Commission's secretariat that a vacancy exists or
is about to occur. The Commission shall release
its report to the public concurrently with
submission of the report to the Governor.

educational materials concerning judicial vacancies
and the functions of the Commission, in order to
inform the public of the Judicial selection process
of the State.

Confidentiality. The name of an individual who submits
a personal data questionnaire to a Commission may not be
made public by the Commission until after the deadline
for filing questionnaires. The Administrative Office of
the Courts may submit the names of those individuals to
a bar association, on receiving satisfactory assurances
that the committee or president of the Bar Association
bill not release or permit the release to the public of
any ranking of the individuals by the Bar Association or
results of any ballots returned from members of the Bar
Association. A personal data questionnaire submitted to
a Commission is confidential and may not be released by
any one other than the applicant, except that the
Administrative Office of the Courts shall forward to the
Governor the personal data questionnaires of those
individuals actually nominated to the Governor by a
Commission.
