Justice Jill M. Pohlman was retained in her position on the Utah Supreme Court following the November 3, 2026, general election. Unofficial results posted as of November 4, 2026, show Pohlman received 77.6% of the vote, totaling 486,231 votes, while 22.4% of voters, totaling 140,675 votes, voted no.
The election results remain unofficial until the state canvass is held on November 23. According to the ballot, a yes vote keeps the justice on the bench for another term, while a no vote would remove the justice when the current term ends, requiring the governor to appoint a replacement confirmed by the Utah Senate.
Prior to the election, a state evaluation indicated that Pohlman meets or exceeds standards. The commission vote for the justice was 12–0, and 96% of survey respondents indicated they would keep the judge. Additionally, the justice passed 8 of 8 minimum standards.
The Utah Supreme Court serves as the highest court in the state and is often referred to as the court of last resort. The court consists of five justices serving ten-year terms and primarily reviews cases decided by lower courts, including serious criminal appeals, civil case appeals, and election disputes. The court meets mainly at the Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City.
