This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that would change the process for selecting justices and judges. The amendment seeks to repeal the current system where judges are appointed by the governor from a list provided by a judicial nominating commission. Instead, it establishes that justices of the Supreme Court and judges of district courts will be elected directly by the electorate during general elections. The amendment also outlines that justices and judges must file a declaration of intent to stand for election if they wish to seek another term, thereby eliminating the retention vote process.

Additionally, the amendment includes provisions for the election terms of judges, stating that justices and judges will serve specified terms and must be elected by the appropriate electorate for their respective positions. It also allows for the potential increase in the number of judicial districts and judges, while ensuring that no judge is removed from office during their elected term due to changes in district boundaries. The resolution aims to create a more democratic process for judicial selection in Wyoming, moving away from appointments to a system based on direct elections.
