Sec. 33. (a) The judicial nominating commission consists of seven (7) members, the majority of whom shall form a quorum. The chief justice of the supreme court (or a justice of the supreme court or judge of the court of appeals designated by the chief justice) shall be a member and shall act as chairman. Persons who are admitted to the practice of law and who reside in Allen County shall, under sections 35 and 36 of this chapter, elect three (3) members to serve on the commission. The governor shall appoint to the commission three (3) residents of Allen County who are not admitted to the practice of law. However, not more than two (2) of these appointees may be from the same political party. If the governor fails to appoint any of the nonattorney commission members within the time required under section 34 of this chapter, the appointment shall be made by the chief justice of the supreme court.
(b) A member of the commission other than a judge or justice may not hold any other salaried public office, and a member may not hold an office in a political party or organization. A member of the commission is ineligible for appointment to a judicial office in Allen County while the member is a member of the commission and for three (3) years thereafter. If any member of the commission other than a judge or justice terminates the member's residence in Allen County, the member is considered to have resigned from the commission.
