AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona Revised Statutes sections 12-120.02 and 12-120.10 regarding Court of Appeals judges and retention elections.

  • Changes Court of Appeals retention elections from regional/divisional basis to statewide basis, allowing all registered voters in Arizona to vote on judge retention regardless of division.

  • Maintains existing judge residency requirements for Division 1 (10 from Maricopa County, 5 from remaining counties, 4 at-large) and Division 2 (4 from Pima County, 2 from remaining counties, 3 at-large).

  • Specifies that at-large judges' retention elections are determined by their county of residence: Maricopa/Pima county judges voted on by those county voters, and other at-large judges voted on by remaining counties in their division.

  • Updates statutory language to reflect judges' designated post of duty as their place of physical residence for judges elected from non-primary counties.
