Description
Petitioner Harold E. Whitney alleged that the Honorable Charles C. Bernstein was elected to the office of Judge of the Superior Court of Maricopa County for a term commencing in January of 1957 and ending in January, 1961, and that he entered upon the duties of the office, becoming the presiding Judge of Division 2 of the Superior Court of Maricopa County; that thereafter he filed with respondent Wesley Bolin as Secretary of State, nomination papers qualifying him as candidate for the office of Judge of the Supreme Court of Arizona. It is further alleged that by so doing, the office of Judge of the Superior Court of Division 2 became vacant; that by reason thereof, petitioner filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Maricopa County nomination papers as a candidate therefor, subject to the Democratic primary on September 9, 1958; that petitioner was informed that his nomination petitions could not be accepted because respondent Wesley Bolin as Secretary of State did not list a vacancy in the office of Judge of Division 2 of the Superior Court of Maricopa County. We were asked to require respondent to comply with the provisions of § 16-501, A.R.S.1956 by designating the office of Judge of Division 2 of the Superior Court of Maricopa County as an office for which candidates were to be nominated at the primary election.
