"HCR 5001 would amend the Judicial Article of the Kansas Constitution to provide for the nonpartisan election of the Kansas Supreme Court Justices. The proposed constitutional amendment provides for nonpartisan elections at large for the entire state. The three candidates receiving the greatest number of votes at a primary election would be placed on the ballot at the general election with the candidate receiving the greatest number of votes at the general election succeeding to any vacant position on the Supreme Court. The election of the justice would be for a term of six years, who would then be subject to reelection."
