50 appellate judges and justices appear on Missouri's November 3, 2026 ballot: Paul C. Wilson, Virginia W. Lay, Rebeca Navarro-McKelvey, Angela Turner Quigless, Matthew P. Hamner, Lisa White Hardwick, Myles A. Perry, David P. Chamberlain, Kenneth R. Garrett, III, Patrick C. Edwards, Lauren D. Barrett, Cory L. Atkins and others. Missouri uses the Nonpartisan Court Plan: the Governor appoints Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges (and circuit/associate circuit judges in the plan's designated circuits) from a list submitted by a judicial nominating commission. Each judge's name then appears alone on a separate nonpartisan judicial ballot as a yes/no retention question after roughly one year in office, and again at the end of each term (12 years for Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges, 6 years for circuit and associate circuit judges in the plan circuits). A majority yes vote retains the judge; if not retained, the seat is filled again through the nominating-commission process.
