The Supreme Court Justices of Missouri Boys State were selected today by the nominating committee. Although these judges were not elected through the same primary election process that the other state officers go through, they will need to have a confirmation vote in the general election before being sworn in. This process mirrors the selection process used for the State of Missouri.

Twice today the citizens conducted Governmental Activities which included the following:

-City Councils in session
-County officials meet to make appointments and conduct business
-Senate and House in session
-Circuit, Associate Circuit and Municipal courts in session.
-State Central Committees meet.
-Lobbyist Conference
-State appointed officials meetings
-Community Service Coordinator Meeting

Now that the final candidates have been selected for each of the state offices, it was time for citizens to hear their views and learn more about them. First, the Gubernatorial Debate was held where representatives from the media school prepared questions for a formal debate. Later, the Joint Party Rally was held where all candidates of both parties where given a set amount of time to address the citizens.
