You have to show up and vote for the other candidate.

    I appreciate the spirited response, but you're misunderstanding things.

    Arizona, like 14 other states in the U.S., allows its governors to appoint justices to its highest court but gives voters the opportunity to vote them out later on. In Arizona, the initial retention vote takes place two years after justices are appointed. If a justice is not voted out, they will face another retention vote every six years; if they are removed, the current governor is allowed to appoint a new person to the state Supreme Court, albeit from a list provided by a statewide judicial commission.

    The previous post was merely attempting to specify how to "vote out" judges facing a retention vote.
