Bill > SB283

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how associate justices of the Alabama Supreme Court and judges of the courts of appeals are elected. Currently, all judges are elected by voters within their respective court's jurisdiction. This bill would amend Section 152 of the Alabama Constitution to state that, except for certain provisions, judges will continue to be elected by voters in their court's jurisdiction. However, starting with the 2028 General Election, associate justices of the Supreme Court and judges of the courts of appeals would be elected by district, with the Legislature determining these districts. The bill also outlines the process for putting this proposed amendment to a vote of the people, including how it will appear on the ballot and the conditions for its ratification.
