Rule 1 Basic Guideline

A basic guideline for judicial retention election conduct is honesty. No justice or judge should knowingly misrepresent a fact. The justice or judge must be personally responsible for the truth and propriety of retention election literature and he or she should first approve all retention election advertisements, handbills, posters, releases to news and electronic media, scripts for television and radio broadcasts and any other forms of literature issued by others on his or her behalf.
