§ 33-33-2-42 — Vacancy in judgeship; nomination of candidates; substitution of names

(a) After the commission has nominated and
submitted to the governor the names of three (3) nominees:
(1) a name may be withdrawn for a cause considered by the
commission to substantially affect the nominee's qualifications to
hold office; and
(2) another name or other names may be substituted at any time
before the appointment is made to fill the vacancy.
(b) If a nominee dies or requests in writing that the nominee's name
be withdrawn, the commission shall nominate another person to replace
the nominee.
(c) If two (2) or more vacancies exist, the commission shall
nominate and submit to the governor a list of three (3) different persons
for each of the vacancies. Before an appointment is made, the
commission may withdraw the lists of nominations and change the
names of any persons nominated from one (1) list to another, or may
substitute a new name for any of those previously nominated.
