judges; retention elections; filing deadlines

This bill proposes an amendment to Arizona's Constitution requiring most judges to file for retention elections. It affects supreme court justices, intermediate appellate court judges, and superior court judges (except in counties under 250,000 population), mandating they file a declaration 60-90 days before the general election to appear on a nonpartisan ballot asking "Shall [Judge's Name] be retained in office? Yes __ No __." If a majority votes "No," the seat becomes vacant; a "Yes" vote extends their term. The amendment must be approved by voters at the next general election.
