What is Merit Retention?
Merit selection and retention is a system of selecting Justices established by the voters when they amended the Florida Constitution in the 1970s. Under this process, the Governor appoints new Justices from a list of three to six names submitted by a Judicial Nominating Commission. The Governor must select from the list. Once appointed, Justices eventually must face the voters in a "yes" or "no" vote as to whether they should remain in office.
Florida law requires Florida Supreme Court justices and appeals court judges to be placed on the ballot in nonpartisan elections every six years so voters can determine whether they should remain on their courts for another six-year term. You will see these justices and judges in merit questions on the ballot, followed with the options "Yes" or "No" for your selection.
How do I learn more about the judges?
The merit retention process is one of the most commonly asked questions we receive in the Elections Office. Voters want to know how they can learn more about the justices and judges listed on the ballot. The Florida Bar has a great resource for voter education:
The Vote’s in Your Court
The Vote’s in Your Court is your go-to resource for information on judicial elections and merit retention in Florida. It includes the “Guide for Florida Voters,” an easy-to-read, nonpartisan guide to the role of judges and the merit retention process. Here you’ll also find judicial candidate voluntary self-disclosure statements, and information about District Court of Appeals judges and Florida Supreme Court justices up for merit retention.
