Alaska Term of Office Judicial System Administrator (1970)

From Ballotpedia

The Alaska Term of Office Judicial System Administrator Amendment appeared on the 1970 statewide primary ballot in Alaska as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment.

The amendment established that the administrative director of the state's judicial system serves at the pleasure of the entire court, not just its Chief Justice.

The measure passed with 70% of the vote.

The ballot summary said, "This provision amends the State Constitution by repealing the present language of Article IV, Sec. 16, which provides that the administrative director of the judicial system shall serve at the pleasure of the chief justice. The amendment would provide that the administrative director's term of office shall be at the pleasure of the entire supreme court."
