Pennsylvania Judicial Retirement Age Amendment (2016)

See also: 2016 ballot measure polls

The Franklin & Marshall College Poll surveyed 813 registered voters between September 28 and October 2, 2016. Respondents were randomly divided into three clusters, with each cluster receiving different wording regarding the judicial retirement age amendment. The first cluster received the wording that appeared on the November 8, 2016, ballot:

“

[Question 1] Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution be amended to require that justices of the Supreme Court, judges, and magisterial district judges be retired on the last day of the calendar year in which they attain the age of 75 years?

”

Of the respondents in the first cluster, 64 percent supported, 28 percent opposed, and seven percent were undecided on the measure.

The second cluster received the wording that was to be found on the April 26, 2016, primary ballot:

“

[Question 2] Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution be amended to require that justices of the Supreme Court, judges and justices of the peace (known as magisterial district judges) be retired on the last day of the calendar year in which they attain the age of 75 years, instead of the current requirement that they be retired on the last day of the calendar year in which they attain the age of 70?

”

Of the respondents in the second cluster, 45 percent supported, 47 percent opposed, and seven percent were undecided on the measure.

The third cluster received an alternative wording for the amendment:

“

[Question 3]The Pennsylvania Constitution currently requires that justices of the Supreme Court, judges, and magisterial district judges retire on the last day of the calendar year they turn 70 years of age. Should the state Constitution be amended to allow these judges to serve in office until they are 75 years of age?

”

Of the respondents in the third cluster, 37 percent supported, 61 percent opposed, and two percent were undecided on the measure.
