Canon 2. A Judge Must Uphold the Public Trust

Rule Text

A judge may vote in general, primary, and special elections. For purposes of these Canons, voting in a special or primary election does not constitute participation in a political activity. The act of a judge voting in a special or primary election, like voting in general elections, is the discharge of an honorable civic duty and an obligation of responsible citizenship.
