Hawaiʻi residents will soon receive the annual questionnaire from the judiciary to determine who is eligible for jury duty.
It will ask questions about the basic qualifications to be a juror — such as if you are a U.S. citizen, over the age of 18, and if you can read and understand English.
Once received, people have 10 days to return the questionnaire in a provided envelope. If not returned by the deadline, there could be penalties.
It will be mailed out starting Sept. 4 to residents in all counties statewide.
Those who meet the requirements will be put in a pool for possible jury service in 2025.
The judiciary will not call residents about jury duty or the questionnaire. The courts warn residents that any calls of that nature are a scam and should not be answered.
