HONOLULU (KHON2) -- Starting September 4, the Hawaii State Judiciary will begin mailing juror questionnaires to residents across the state in preparation for potential jury service in 2025.
Approximately 90,000 residents on Oahu, 80,000 in Maui County, 75,000 on Hawaii island, and 50,000 on Kauai will receive these questionnaires.
The selection is based on individuals with a Hawaii state driver’s license or those registered to vote in the state.
Jury service is a crucial component of the democratic process, ensuring the right to a trial by jury.
To qualify for jury duty, individuals must be at least 18-years-old, U.S. citizens, Hawaii residents, and capable of reading and understanding English.
Recipients of the questionnaires are required to complete and return them within 10-days using the provided envelope. Failure to respond could result in penalties.
