SJR 1 - This proposed constitutional amendment, if approved by the qualified voters of this state, provides that when a judicial vacancy occurs in a court under the nonpartisan court plan the Governor shall appoint the new judge from a list of names of all qualified applicants, submitted by a nonpartisan judicial commission, rather than from a list of only three names. The number of nominees on the list is not limited, but shall include at least three names. This amendment is identical to SJR 39 (2020), SJR 3 (2019), SJR 28 (2018), and SCS/SJR 11 (2017) and is similar to SJR 30 (2016).
