SB 167 - This act provides that in any election contest for circuit or associate judge, regardless of whether the contest involves qualifications, irregularity or other cause and whether it is in a primary or general election, the petition must be filed in and heard by an adjoining Circuit Court.

If a petition contesting any election is filed in an incorrect circuit, the court in which it is filed shall have jurisdiction to transfer such case to the correct Circuit Court.
