Florida Selection of Circuit Court Judges Act (2000)
From Ballotpedia
Contents |
The Selection of Circuit Court Judges Act was on the November 7, 2000 election ballot in Florida. It was defeated.
A vote on the proposed act was held because in 1998, Florida voters approved the Local Option for Selection of Judges and Funding of State Courts Act, which among other things, provided "for future local elections to decide whether to continue electing circuit and county judges or to adopt system of appointment of those judges by governor." Two measures on the 2000 ballot responded to this mandate, the Selection of Circuit Court Judges Act and the Selection of County Court Judges Act.
A separate vote was tallied for each of the 20 Florida circuit courts. The question asked in each circuit was "Shall Circuit Court Judges be appointed by the Governor with retention by vote of the people?" Each circuit opposed the proposal.
