Sec. 9.5. If a recount involves the nomination or election of the judge of the court that assumes jurisdiction over the recount and the regular judge of the court is a party to the proceeding, then the regular judge is disqualified to act in any way in the proceeding except to transfer a petition or cross-petition under section 8 of this chapter.
