Under existing law, the Administrative Director of Courts must certify vacancies in offices of judges of circuit courts, district courts, courts of appeals, and the Supreme Court, and clerks of circuit courts to the Secretary of State by December 1 of the year preceding the next general election

This bill would eliminate the requirement to certify vacancies and require the Administrative Director of Courts to certify and submit a listing of all offices of judges of circuit courts, district courts, courts of appeals, and the Supreme Court, and clerks of circuit courts that are to appear on the ballot for the next general election to the Secretary of State by December 1 of the year preceding the next general election
