If a recount involves the nomination or election of the judge of the court that assumes jurisdiction over the recount and the regular judge of the court is a party to the proceeding, then the regular judge is disqualified to act in any way in the proceeding except to transfer a petition or cross-petition under section 8 of this chapter. The judge shall, within three (3) days after the court assumes jurisdiction, certify the fact of disqualification to the governor, who shall then appoint a special judge for the proceeding.As added by P.L.10-1988, SEC.140.
