State Question 845Constitutional amendment
Judicial commission rule changes
This changes the rules for the group that helps choose top judges. It is like changing who may sit on a school hiring committee and how long they may serve.
- Yes vote
- Changing commission membership rules, including using current congressional districts, allowing consecutive service, and removing some party and attorney limits.
- No vote
- Keeping the current commission membership rules, including existing party, attorney, term, and district limits.
State Question 847Constitutional amendment
Lower property value growth caps
Property taxes use a government estimate of what property is worth, and that estimate can rise each year. This measure makes the yearly increase smaller, like putting a lower speed limit on the increase, but it does not automatically lower today's bill.
- Yes vote
- Lowering annual assessed-value growth caps beginning in tax year 2027 and changing some senior protections to income-based caps.
- No vote
- Keeping the current assessment caps and current income-qualified senior freeze rules.
