What does this measure do?

Oklahoma would change its 15-member Judicial Nominating Commission, which screens candidates for judgeships, by using congressional districts for 12 seats, removing several eligibility limits, and revising terms and vacancies. How Oklahoma's judges are chosen would change; your taxes would not.
