Constitutional Amendments. Current law provides for the election of judges of the Superior Court, judges of the Court of Appeals, and justices of the Supreme Court.

The term of appointed appellate judges or justices in office before June 1, 2012, and continuing in that office will end on February 28, 2013. If the judge or justice wishes to remain in office after that date, he or she must sit for a confirmation election in the 2012 general election.
