A no vote
Retention is rejected if 'yes' does not win a majority. The office becomes vacant on Jan. 1, 2027, and is filled through the Marion County Judicial Selection Committee's nomination process, with the governor appointing (IC 33-33-49-13.3(d), -13.4).

About the court

When a seat on the Marion Superior Court opens, the governor appoints a replacement from nominees of the Marion County Judicial Selection Committee; sitting judges then face countywide yes/no retention votes, and local trial judges serve six-year terms [13]. Since HEA 1033 (2026), a Marion judge must first be found suitable by the committee to appear on the ballot [2].

If retained
Six-year term beginning Jan. 1, 2027 [2]
