Gonna say something controversial, but I don't think judges should be elected. At least, they shouldn't only be elected.
What I mean is, being a judge (at least in the current state of things) is something that requires a lot of technical knowledge, and this should be attested through some kind of examination, at the very least. I think the same of many other kinds of government officials, as well. What I think could work is submitting to elections those approved in specific examination. Ideally, we'd also be able to remove from office any judge through vote, at any time. And, of course, there should be no room for high ranking politicians handpicking people for office, as well, as it happens where I live, in some cases.
I express this opinion as someone who has worked closely to the judicial system. Of course, I'm open to changing my mind if someone wants to express their opinion.
You could simply have passing an exam/test as a requirement to be a candidate in the election, in fact I'd say most influential positions would need that. For example, it should be required for the general secretary of a communist party to have good knowledge of theory, to ensure that we could have the candidates pass an exam.
That's more or less what I meant. I'm not so sure about what you said of requiring attestation for general secretary, mostly because of what the curriculum for that would be and who would be in charge of defining said curriculum. Admittedly, though, I haven't given this topic much thought
