Proposing and submitting to the electors at the next general election an amendment to the Constitution of the State of South Dakota, providing for the retention elections of circuit court judges.
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would let South Dakota voters decide whether circuit court judges should face retention elections to keep their positions. If approved by voters, the amendment would change how judges stay on the bench—instead of the current system, judges would periodically have to win voter approval to continue serving.
