Top 3 Priorities
- [In retention elections, justices do not run against opposing candidates.]
- [If a justice receives more “yes” votes than "no" votes, the justice will remain in his or her position for another term.]
- [If not, the justice will complete the current term and then a new justice will be appointed by the Governor.]
