How to get more information about judges for the upcoming election
PHOENIX As more Arizona voters get their election ballots, more voters likely have the same question: who are all of these judges?
They are likely names you've never heard of doing jobs you don't know much about. Yet, in Maricopa County alone, 40 Superior Court judge decisions are on the ballot.
While smaller counties elect judges, in Pima, Pinal, Coconino, and Maricopa, they are appointed by the governor and you vote to retain them or not.
But since you've likely never visited their courtroom or know who they are, you may just ignore them. Many voters did just that in the Maricopa County 2016 election according to final voting results you can see here.

If you look at each race or decision, the words "under votes" appear with a total. In these decisions, it means the voter left it blank. In the presidential race, just over 19,000 voters did that. But more than 785,000 people passed on one Superior Court Judge decision. And a check of other judge contests shows similar numbers of voters just leaving them blank.
