SJR 105 - Currently, judges of the Supreme Court of Missouri and of the Court of Appeals, judges in certain circuit courts, and certain associate circuit judges are selected by gubernatorial appointment following nominations from nonpartisan commissions. This proposed constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, would require the appointment by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, of all judges of the Supreme Court and of the Court of Appeals. Additionally, all circuit and associate circuit judges shall be elected by qualified voters of the circuit or county in which they are to serve.
