The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Wyoming Constitution to change the process for selecting judges and justices. It aims to repeal the current system where judges are appointed by the governor from a list provided by a judicial nominating commission. Instead, the bill stipulates that justices of the supreme court and judges of district courts will be elected directly by the electorate during general elections. The amendment also includes provisions for the election of judges in other subordinate courts, allowing for a more democratic selection process.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the terms of service for elected judges and justices, requiring them to stand for reelection if they wish to continue serving after their term expires. It repeals several sections of the current law related to the judicial nominating process and retention votes, replacing them with a straightforward election process. The bill emphasizes that justices and judges must file a declaration of intent to run for reelection within a specified timeframe, ensuring that the electorate has the opportunity to vote on their continued service in office.
