<p begin="00:00:06.00" end="00:00:12.60">In Ohio, all judges are elected—from the smallest municipal court right up to the Supreme Court of Ohio.</p>
<p begin="00:00:12.70" end="00:00:17.40">In many states, judges are appointed and may come up for retention election.</p>
<p begin="00:00:17.50" end="00:00:22.00">But in Ohio, every judge is elected for a secure term.</p>
<p begin="00:00:22.10" end="00:00:30.40">Ohio’s system of judicial elections is a bit unique. First, a judge is elected from the territory that the court covers.</p>
<p begin="00:00:30.50" end="00:00:35.00">For example, the common pleas judge is elected from a single county.</p>
<p begin="00:00:35.10" end="00:00:42.70">A court of appeals judge is elected from the district, and a Supreme Court justice is elected from the entire state.</p>
<p begin="00:00:42.80" end="00:00:48.90">Judicial candidates must file as a member of political party until after a primary election.</p>
<p begin="00:00:49.00" end="00:00:58.50">Then the election turns to be nonpartisan. Judicial elections are regulated by rules of appropriate judicial behavior and demeanor.</p>
<p begin="00:00:58.60" end="00:01:05.00">Therefore, many judicial elections are tame compared to other statewide or local elections.</p>
