Ballot Question

  • Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution be amended to require that justices of the Supreme Court, judges, and magisterial district judges be retired on the last day of the calendar year in which they attain the age of 75 years?

Background on the question: Current Supreme Court justices, judges, and magisterial district judges all have to retire by age 70. With the average life expediency higher than it was when the rule was written, should the state allow judges remain on the bench until their 75? PhillyMag.com offers a more in-depth article on the question.
