Provides for the election of all judges

SB 1746 replaces Missouri's existing judicial election rules with 18 new sections governing how all judges are elected. It requires judicial candidates to file declarations of candidacy with the secretary of state (for statewide judges) or county election authorities (for local judges), specifies filing methods (in-person or certified mail with documentation), and establishes campaign finance fees (e.g., $500 for statewide judges). The bill also includes a waiver process for candidates unable to pay filing fees. This directly affects all judges running for election in Missouri, including supreme court, court of appeals, and circuit judges. The changes apply to all judicial elections, including retention votes for sitting judges.
