Introduced Text

Amends Wyoming Constitution to elect all judges and justices at general elections and repeals retention vote requirement.

This bill proposes changes to the Wyoming Constitution to elect all justices and judges at general elections for specified terms. It repeals the judicial nominating commission and the requirement for judges and justices to stand for retention. Instead, those in office who wish to seek another term must stand for reelection at the next general election. The changes affect the selection process for justices of the Wyoming Supreme Court and judges of the Wyoming judicial branch.
