An amendment regarding the method of selection of KS Supreme Court Justices is on the Primary ballot. Currently the selection is a process whereby judges are nominated, reviewed and a slate of three is presented to the governor for appointment. The first general election following their appointment they stand for retention, i.e. a yes/no vote by Kansas voters. After their initial retention, they serve a six year term before each retention vote. The amendment proposes a change in how justices are placed on the court.
In past decades, the KS Supreme Court Justices have been a critical component in providing for adequate funding and quality education for KS students. Read the amendment carefully and vote on August 4th.
