Philadelphia Traffic Court partisan election Elections were originally to be held to fill the three vacancies on the Philadelphia Traffic Court. On June 19, 2013, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett signed Senate Bill 334 into law, abolishing the court. Its functions were transferred to the Philadelphia Municipal Court. A companion bill was also in the legislative process to abolish the court from the Pennsylvania Constitution. As such, while primary elections were held as scheduled, no general election took place.
