Elections for Supreme Court Justices Amendment

Kansas · November 3, 2026

What this measure does

Make the Kansas Supreme Court an elected office and to abolish the court's nominating commission

A yes vote means Kansans will vote directly for Supreme Court justices instead of a nominating commission choosing them.
A no vote means The current system stays in place where a commission picks Supreme Court justices and voters don't directly elect them.
Simple explanation
Right now, a special group picks who gets to be a Kansas Supreme Court judge. This measure would let voters pick them instead, like how we pick the governor or president. So instead of a hidden committee deciding, you'd go to the ballot booth and vote for judges.
