Please note that in the reserve for vacant judge positions in local administrative courts, there are currently 276 candidates and judges https://tinyurl.com/mptpbuw4.
This means that the number of candidates for judicial positions is only 4 more than the number of positions themselves.
In other words, no VKKS competition is being held.
In effect, the Commission is simply employing those judges and candidates who have passed all stages of testing and the special verification.
