Bill overview
This bill proposes an amendment to the Nevada Constitution to change how incumbent justices and judges are elected when they aren't facing opposition. Instead of a simple ‘retain’ or ‘reject’ vote, voters would be presented with a direct choice to ‘retain’ or ‘not retain’ the official. If voters choose ‘not retain,’ the official would not be re-elected, and a vacancy would be filled according to existing procedures. The bill also clarifies provisions for the court of appeals, ensuring consistent election rules across different judicial levels.
