Missouri SJR105 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how judges are appointed and elected in the state.
Missouri SJR105 seeks to amend the state constitution to change the appointment and election process for judges. Under the proposal, all appellate judges, including those in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, would be appointed by the Governor with the Senate's approval. Circuit and associate circuit judges would be elected by voters in their respective jurisdictions. The amendment would also establish that each county must have at least one resident associate circuit judge, who would be elected by voters in that county or the city of St. Louis.
