Walker County probate judge age limit: 75

The law requires a referendum on changing Walker County's probate judge age limit. The amendment takes effect only after approval by a majority of qualified voters voting on it. It allows people age 75 or younger to be elected or appointed, overriding the state constitution's existing age rule. Age is measured when the election qualifying period begins or at appointment.
