Sec. 44.

A judge may not take part in any political campaign except as a candidate for retention in judicial office and, in that event, the judge's campaign participation must be absolutely devoid of partisan association and be limited to activities designed to acquaint the electorate with the judge's judicial record.
(b) Failure to comply with this section is sufficient cause for the commission on judicial qualifications established by section 45 of this chapter to recommend to the supreme court that the judge be censured or removed from office.
