Constitutional amendment to elect judges and justices in Wyoming at general elections.
This constitutional amendment proposes to change the selection process for judges and justices in Wyoming. Currently, judges and justices are appointed by the governor from a list of nominees provided by a judicial nominating commission. This amendment would require all judges and justices to be elected at general elections for specified terms. It would also repeal the judicial nominating commission and the requirement for judges and justices to stand for retention. Justices and judges in office would need to stand for reelection if they wish to continue serving.
