Text
If a contest involves the nomination or
election of the judge of the court in which the petition of contest is
filed, and the regular judge of the court is a party to the case, then the
regular judge is disqualified to act in any way in the case. The judge
shall, within three (3) days after the filing of the petition of contest,
certify the fact of disqualification to the governor, who shall then
appoint a special judge to try the case.
