On April 26, 2016, Pennsylvania voters are scheduled to head to the polls to cast ballots in Pennsylvania’s next primary election. The ballot will also ask voters to approve or disapprove a constitutional amendment that would increase Pennsylvania’s judicial retirement age from 70 to 75. This vote is the final step in determining whether the judicial retirement age increase will take effect.
Over the past five years, according to information published in the winter 2015 issue of Duke University School of Law’s Judicature magazine, voters in five states have considered whether to increase the mandatory retirement age for judges. In all five states—listed in chronological order from earliest to most recent, the states are Ohio, Arizona, New York, Louisiana and Hawaii—the voters rejected proposals that would have increased the mandatory retirement age for judges.
