Vacantes con concurso en trámite
Any suggestion?
Thanks for your help.

Spanish term (edited):
Vacantes concursadas
Selected
Total selection processes [for vacancies]
A tricky one. On the presumption that what this means is the number of times selection processes have been opened to candidates to fill a vacancy, I think "vacantes concursadas" could be rendered as "total vacancy-selection processes".
Vacantes concursadas > Total vacancy selection processes
Vacantes con concurso concluido > Vacancy selection complete
Vacantes con concurso en trámite > Vacancy selection pending
Vacantes concursadas > Total vacancy selection processes
Vacantes con concurso concluido > Vacancy selection complete
Vacantes con concurso en trámite > Vacancy selection pending

It looks like "competitive exams" is the best option.

The assumption appears to be that some judges are appointed (or elected?) while others undergo a competitive process.

(number of) vacancies for which a competitive selection process exists
I'd describe the selection process as competitive.
Discussion
Vacantes con con concurso conluido: 783
Vacantes con concurso en tràmite: 2
I do not how to simply convey the idea of "concursadas", which gives the idea that the competitive process has already begun, in some cases it is finished (concluido) and in some cases it is still on going (en trámite).
