Supreme Court justices on the ballot
In New York, the "Supreme Court" is the main trial court, not the top court. Justices are elected by judicial district for 14-year terms, and they can run on party lines like other candidates. 37 seats are up in 11 of the 13 districts; the 6th and 7th districts have none this year. The top court, the Court of Appeals, is appointed by the governor and is not on the ballot.
