In each judicial district there shall be elected one\ndistrict court judge. The supervisors elected in the towns comprising\nthe first judicial district may, upon the recommendation of the board of\njudges of the district courts, increase the number of judges in all or\nany one of the districts provided that such new judicial post or posts\nshall be filled for a full term at the next general election held not\nless than three months after the creation thereof.
