In Johnson County, voters will be asked in November whether they want to elect their judges to the Tenth Judicial District instead of having them chosen by local attorneys, a move Schlafly says will allow judges to be elected democratically rather than be appointed. When there are judicial openings in Johnson County, the Tenth Judicial Nominating Commission meets to draft a list of nominees. The nominating panel is comprised of seven attorneys elected by the Johnson County Bar Association and seven non-lawyers with one non-lawyer selected by each of the seven Johnson County Commissioners.
