Elections, provide for election of associate justices of the Supreme Court and judges of the appellate courts, constitutional amendment

Summary

The bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would require voters in each legislative district to elect associate justices of the Alabama Supreme Court and judges of the courts of appeals, rather than electing them statewide. It would take effect with the 2028 general election and changes the current system where judges are elected by all voters within a court’s jurisdiction. This shift could alter how judicial candidates campaign and who they represent.
