They are up for "retention" -- which is like re-election, except that it's a "yes/no" question, rather than a "choose your candidate" question. If the voters vote "no", then the governor appoints a replacement.

And yes, both of these justices did indeed vote with the 4-2 majority to put the ban into full effect.

The only dissenters were Justices Timmer and Brutinel.

Thank god I don't live in that state anymore, what a shitshow.

(* also: the first justice's name is spelled "Bolick" not "Bolock" )
