Modifies provisions relating to judges of the Supreme Court and of the Court of Appeals, including length of terms, term limits, and nonpartisan elections

Summary

The proposal would repeal parts of Article V and add new sections that require voters to choose Supreme Court, chief justice, and Court of Appeals judges in nonpartisan elections. It also makes the chief justice an elected position and sets twelve‑year terms with a limit of two consecutive terms. The change aims to increase judicial accountability to the public.
