Pennsylvania weighs electing attorney general in constitutional amendment
The General Assembly approved first reading of a proposed constitutional change to elect the Pennsylvania attorney general, replacing the governor’s appointment. If approved by the 1977-78 session and voters in a statewide referendum, the earliest submission would be May 1977 with the first elected AG on the 1982 ballot. Supporters say election curbs gubernatorial influence and curbs corruption. opponents warn it could limit future governors. The measure would require bar membership, seven years residence, and 30 years of age, with four other elected officials currently directly chosen by voters.
