Court system guide to judicial candidates

For the 2011 general election, the New York State Unified Court System will publish a nonpartisan online voter guide for the public with information about candidates for elective judicial office.

For candidates who have chosen to participate, the guide will contain biographical information provided by the candidate such as current occupation, educational and professional history, and a short personal statement.

The guide will cover races for state court elections to trial courts of superior jurisdiction (supreme, county, family and surrogate’s courts) as well as district courts, city courts and civil courts of the City of New York.

The New York State Judicial Candidate Voter Guide will be accessible through the court system’s website at www.nycourts.gov/vote through Election Day.
