Proposed constitutional amendments to change election and appointment processes for superior court judges in Arizona.
This bill proposes several amendments to the Arizona Constitution concerning the election and appointment of superior court judges. In counties with populations under 250,000, judges will be elected by county voters. In larger counties, judges will be elected from judicial districts. The governor will fill any vacancies until a successor is elected. The bill also repeals sections related to smaller counties' judicial options and the commission on trial court appointments. If approved by voters and the governor, these changes will take effect at the next general election.
