Watch discussion of Prop. 137, pros and cons of judicial retention
Posted
The Arizona Clean Elections Commission will host a debate at 4 p.m. Sept. 26 on Proposition 137, which would end the direct voting of judges and Supreme Court justices.
The proposition, put on the ballot by the Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature, would only put judges on the ballot if they had received low marks from a judicial review board or under a series of conditions. Otherwise, judges would be able to stay on the bench until age 70 once appointed.
Proponents of the proposition say the voting for judges, who are initially appointed, weighs down the ballot and voters don't make many decisions. Opponents say it removes a check on judges.
