2006 New York Code - Districts And Number Of Judges Therein.

 
    §  2403.  Districts and number of judges therein.  The county district
  court system shall be divided into judicial districts as follows:    The
  entire  district  court  system  shall  constitute  the  first  judicial
  district in which one district court judge shall be elected.  Each  town
  electing  to  become  part  of  the district court system, including the
  three or more towns establishing the system,  shall  constitute  another
  judicial  district,  provided,  however, that any two or more contiguous
  towns electing to become part of the district court system which have  a
  combined  total  population of less than sixty thousand according to the
  last census,  shall  constitute  one  judicial  district,  but  provided
  further,  that if any of such towns shall thereafter attain a population
  greater  than  thirty  thousand,  such  town  shall  constitute  another
  judicial  district. In each judicial district there shall be elected one
  district court judge. The supervisors elected in  the  towns  comprising
  the first judicial district may, upon the recommendation of the board of
  judges  of  the district courts, increase the number of judges in all or
  any one of the districts provided that such new judicial post  or  posts
  shall  be  filled  for a full term at the next general election held not
  less than three months after the creation thereof.  For the  purpose  of
  electing  such  judges and for the purpose of determining the boundaries
  of such districts, any city hereafter created from the territory of  any
  town shall be considered to be part of that town.
