Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Judicial elections are low stimulus in nature and have significant roll-off in those voting, meaning that fewer people vote for judicial positions than for executive or legislative positions. This is due in part to the lack of public knowledge about judicial candidates and their positions on issues, as well as the perception that qualifications and experience matter less in judicial elections than in executive or legislative elections.
