Allow for partisan judicial elections

This bill (LC 2647) proposed changing the election process for state judges to allow partisan contests, meaning judges would run under political party labels like "Republican" or "Democrat" instead of non-partisan elections. It would have directly affected judicial candidates, voters in judicial elections, and the structure of state courts. However, the bill was drafted but never advanced beyond the drafting stage, as it was placed on hold and ultimately died in process on May 27, 2025. It never became law or altered any election procedures.
