Candidates who are unopposed in the primary, however, must still appear on the primary ballot if there is any opposition for the seat by any other party. If there is no contest for a judicial seat in either the primary or general election, the candidates for that seat are not placed on the primary ballot. Appointed judges must then run in the next general election, or the next general election after two years in office for supreme and appellate appointees. Vacancies on the circuit and superior courts are filled by direct governor appointment. If a vacancy occurs mid-term on the Indiana Supreme Court or Indiana Court of Appeals, the governor makes an appointment from names supplied by the judicial nominating commission.

Before a judge can stand for retention, the judge must appear before the committee to allow the committee to issue a recommendation to voters regarding the judge's suitability to continue to hold office.
