Because only two candidates filed for Department 5, the June primary was canceled and the contest proceeds to the November general election, according to The Nevada Independent. The outlet reports that this election cycle will determine 31 percent of Nevada’s district court judgeships. The candidates also have different labor endorsements: campaign-filing information summarized by Ballotpedia lists Ironworkers Local 433 and the Laborers International Union as backing Barisich, and Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and the Clark County District Attorney Investigators Association as backing Hibbetts.
