No person shall be eligible to the office of district judge unless he shall be a qualified elector of the judicial district at the time of his election or selection and shall have been licensed to practice law in this state for five years. Each judge of the district court shall be a resident of his district during his term of office. Section 1 of chapter 313, session laws of Colorado 1963, provided that the enactment of this section takes effect immediately. However, according to section 1(4) of article V of the state constitution, a measure "shall take effect from and after the date of the official declaration of the vote thereon by proclamation of the governor". (2) This section is similar to §§ 16 and 29 as they existed prior to 1961. (3) For amendments to those sections prior to 1961, see G. L. § 157.
