The retention election is elections that determine whether the judges receive another 10-year term. These are not partisan elections, so justice will not be attached to their name. Voters are simply asked to say yes or no to give a judge another decade on the bench.
If the vote is like this, the judge returned to the Supreme Court of the Community of Nations for the next decade. If voters decide not to stop, the governor may designate a ephemeral substitute subject to the approval of the state Senate.
