Subject: [EL] Query about retention elections
A student put a question to me today, and I am passing it on to the list for an answer.
Are judicial elections covered by 1P1V standards? More specifically, if a court is elected using retention elections, but members are appointed from geographic residency districts, must those districts be of approximately equal population?
Thanks,
Keith
