Vote YES on
Constitutional Amendment 1
Return the power to elect Kansas Supreme Court justices to the people.
Kansas Supreme Court justices were selected by direct election for the first one hundred years of our state. Amendment 1 restores that voice to the people.
Justices are chosen by a nominating commission that hands the Governor just three options. That commission is made up of a majority of lawyers selecting their own justices — with no direct voice for Kansas voters.
The people of Kansas directly elect the justices on the Supreme Court — restoring accountability, transparency, and fairness to the process.
Power to the people
Your vote — not a commission of lawyers — helps choose the Court.
Rooted in Kansas history
Direct election is how Kansas chose its justices for a full century.
Transparency & accountability
Justices answer to the people they serve, in the open.
