Missouri circuit judges are nominated by a judicial commission and then selected by the governor to serve. After their first 12 months on the bench and then at the end of each term, these judges go before the voters in a retention election.

 

The Judicial Performance Review Committee reviews the performance of Judges and recommended keeping all of the judges on the ballot in St. Louis County. Find more information on the Missouri Bar's website: yourmissourijudges.org.
