Provides for an amendment to Article IV of the North Carolina Constitution (Constitution) to be voted on at an election to be held on November 4, 2014. Seeks to provide for judges of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Superior Court to retain their offices by submitting to voters whether or not they should be retained to serve the next eight-year term of the office they hold. If a majority of those voting do not vote to end the term of office, then that justice or judge will continue to hold office. If a justice or judge does not file for such an election, or if a majority of those voting vote not to retain that justice or judge, a vacancy will be created. If this happens, that person cannot be appointed to the same office for the term that begins on January 1 following the election. The vacancy created by the justice or judge will be filled with a person appointed by the Governor. Also changes the date for the election concerning the appointees to vacancies to the next election for General Assembly members held more than 90 (was, 60) days after the vacancy occurs.

If the amendment passes, upon the certification of the Secretary of State this act becomes law.
