Question

Federal judges are appointed by the President of the United States. How are judges in Georgia’s state courts selected? (Appointing by the Georgia Supreme Court; elected by Georgia voters; elected by Georgia Legislative; appointed by Georgia governor)

Answer 1

In Georgia, judges in the state courts are primarily elected by Georgia voters. Most judges, including those on the Georgia Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and superior courts, are elected to their positions in nonpartisan elections. However, in some cases, judges may be appointed by the governor to fill vacancies that arise between elections.
