AN ACT relating to the election of Justices of the Supreme Court.

HB 570 changes how Kentucky Supreme Court justices are elected by requiring them to be chosen through statewide voting starting January 2, 2029. Currently, justices are elected from specific districts; this bill eliminates district-based elections and mandates that all voters across Kentucky cast ballots for Supreme Court justices. The change directly affects Kentucky voters, who will no longer vote for justices representing specific geographic districts but for the entire state. The bill modifies Kentucky Revised Statute 118A.020 and is pending in the House Elections committee.
