Constitutional Officer Term Limit Amendment
SJR 9 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit term service for five specific state executive offices: Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Commissioner of Agriculture, and Attorney General. It would prohibit any person from serving more than two consecutive terms in any one of these positions. The amendment requires voter approval in the 2026 general election and would apply to terms beginning after ratification, counting prior terms toward the two-term limit. If passed, it would change the current constitutional language governing eligibility for these offices.
