Arizona’s Supreme Court has seven justices. Currently there are seven Republican justices and no Democratic justices. Arizona conducts retention elections, which means that the governor appoints a justice, who then must be retained or voted out by the voters at the end of the term. In 2020, three justices are up for retention. Iowa conducts retention elections, which means that the governor appoints a justice, who then must be retained or voted out by the voters at the end of the term. This means that if a Justice receives a majority Yes vote in the election, s/he will serve for another term on the court before appearing on the ballot for another retention vote. If a Justice receives a majority No vote, s/he will be replaced by Republican Governor Doug Ducey.
