39 presidents want to continue
A total of 39 presidents of the courts are standing for re-election for the 2025/2028 term of office. Three people are running for the office for the first time. As these positions are not contested, there will be a silent election in each case. This also applies to three candidates running for vacant seats.
In Aargau, only those who register with the State Chancellery within the statutory deadline are eligible for election as court president. Within this deadline, applications were received from 42 candidates for the 41 vacant presidential positions. The late registration deadline for candidates expires on Friday next week.
