These nine people will review the applications and interview candidates. Traditionally, only some applicants were interviewed, but the current governor likes the Commissions to interview all applicants and most do so. Then between three and six names are sent to the governor for him to select a candidate. The current governor prefers to have more choices rather than fewer, so most Commissions send six names.
Appointments are quite different from elections, requiring much less time to make application. It would be interesting to know if fundamentally different candidates are selected by appointment vs. election.
