OPINION

ASHBY, Acting P.J.

Petitioner Luke and real party Jones are opposing candidates for an open seat on the Los Angeles Superior Court. Luke, a Los Angeles Municipal Court judge, seeks to bar Jones, a Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner, from using the title "Judge, Los Angeles County (Acting)" as an occupational designation on the sample ballot for the June 7, 1988, consolidated primary election. We grant the petition.
