Under existing law, vacancies in any judicial office are filled by appointment by the Governor, except in counties that have adopted constitutional amendments.
This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama 1901, to provide that vacancies in the Office of District Court Judge in Dallas County, are filled by the Governor based on nominations made by the Dallas County Judicial Commission and the appointee holds office until the successor elected at the next general election for any state officer takes office.
