DESCRIPTION:One Supreme Court justice and six Court of Appeals judges are o
 n the ballot for retention this Election Day. In November\, voters will de
 cide “yes” or “no” on whether to retain each of the following appe
 llate-level judges:\n\n    Justice Christopher M. Goff    Judge L. Mark Ba
 iley    Judge Melissa S. May    Judge Margret G. Robb    Judge Cale J. Bra
 dford    Judge Elaine B. Brown    Judge Elizabeth F. TavitasA website has 
 been designed by the Supreme Court’s Office of Judicial Administration a
 s a way for voters to make informed decisions about the judges on the ball
 ot. The website\, found at courts.in.gov/retention\, includes biographical
  information\, video of oral arguments\, and a link to each judge’s writ
 ten opinions. \n\nLater this year\, the Indiana State Bar Association will
  release yes/no results for each of the judges from a survey of its member
 s. These results will be available on the retention website.\n\nIndiana ha
 s used a merit selection process to choose and retain its appellate judges
  for the past 48 years. Once appointed\, a judge must stand for retention 
 at the first statewide general election after the judge has served for two
  full years. If retained\, the judge is on the retention ballot every 10 y
 ears. The retention system is designed to allow appellate judges to decide
  cases fairly and impartially\, free from campaign finance considerations\
 , and without influence by partisan politics.
