House Engrossed
Overview
Alters the master jury list definition to include the dates of birth and, if available, telephone
numbers and email addresses of eligible jurors.
History
State law requires all qualified citizens to serve on juries when summoned by the state courts,
unless granted an exemption. Eligibility criteria requires every juror to be at least eighteen
years of age, be a U.S. citizen, be a resident of the jurisdiction that the juror is summoned to
serve, never have been convicted of a felony (unless the individual's civil rights have been
restored) and not currently deemed mentally incompetent or insane (A.R.S. §§ 21-201, 21-
202).
The jury commissioner for each county is responsible for generating a master jury list
comprised of the names and addresses of eligible persons residing in the county. This includes
persons on the county's voter registration list, other eligible persons who have received a
state driver's license or commercial driver's license and persons from other lists as
determined by the Supreme Court (A.R.S. § 21-301).
