- No: 226,805 (65.2%)
Text of the proposal
The language that appeared on the ballot:
Shall the mandatory retirement age of seventy for all state court justices and judges be repealed?
Description of Proposed Amendment
Article VI, section 3, of the Hawaii Constitution presently requires appellate court justices and trial court judges to retire upon attaining the age of seventy years. The proposed constitutional amendment would repeal this requirement. If the voters approve the proposed amendment, neither currently sitting justices and judges nor those appointed after the amendment takes effect would be required to retire at age seventy.
Justices and judges would not be required to retire upon reaching any specific age. All justices and judges who wish to reapply to serve for an additional term must be found qualified to serve by the Judicial Selection Commission.
