Summary

The proposal changes Wyoming’s judicial selection process so that Supreme Court justices and district court judges are chosen in general elections rather than appointed by the governor from a nominating commission. It also removes the current retention‑vote system and sets new rules for filing candidacy, vacancies, and term limits. The amendment would apply to all state judges and would be decided by voters at the next general election.
