However, if the judge has filed a petition for a recount under IC 3-12-11, the term of the judge does not end until the state recount commission has issued a certificate under IC 3-12-11-18 stating that the electorate has rejected the retention of the judge.[Pre-2004 Recodification Citation: 33-2.1-2-6.]As added by P.L.98-2004, SEC.4.
