Preparation of jury rolls by the Victorian Electoral Commission

19. Preparation of jury rolls by the Victorian Electoral Commission





(1) The Juries Commissioner-

   (a)  must, at intervals of not more than 12 months; and





   (b)  may at any shorter interval-

notify the Victorian Electoral Commission of the number of persons that the
Juries Commissioner estimates will be required for jury service in a jury
district.

(2) On receipt of a notification under subsection (1), the Victorian Electoral
Commission must, as soon as practicable, select from the register of electors
established and maintained under section 21 of the Electoral Act 2002 the
number of persons required for the jury service period who-

   (a)  are enrolled in respect of an address in that jury district; and

   (b)  are apparently qualified and liable for jury service.

(3) On completion of the selection under subsection (2), the Victorian
Electoral Commission must, without delay, send to the Juries Commissioner a
roll of the persons selected under subsection (2) and the address and date of
birth of each person.

(4) The roll referred to in subsection (3) is the jury roll for the jury
district concerned until a new jury roll is prepared in accordance with this
Act, despite any alteration in the boundaries of the jury district during the
jury service period.

(5) A person selected for the jury roll is not eligible to be selected again
during the next 12 months or any longer period that the Juries Commissioner
directs.

(6) The Juries Commissioner may provide to the Victorian Electoral Commission
any information that the Juries Commissioner thinks relevant for the
preparation of jury rolls.
