§ 218-34. Certification of jury lists.

A list of jurors shall be completed by the jury commissioners and certified by them during and before the end of January of each year and at such other period or periods during the year as may be ordered by a judge of the circuit court of the county. When so certified, such list of jurors shall be recorded by the clerk of the circuit court in the minutes of the court without charge thereof and shall constitute the jury list for the courts of the county. Said list so certified, approved and recorded, although it may be defective or irregular in form, certification or other formal requirement, or in the number of qualified persons so named, shall be the basis for copying the listed names on separate pieces of paper to be deposited and preserved in the box from which the names of persons for jury duty are to be drawn as prescribed by law. It shall not affect the validity of such listed names or any listed or copied name if there should be any error or irregularity in either, each person so procured or listed as a juror being presumed to be the one intended to be listed as a juror. When the annual jury list or special jury list prepared pursuant to the order of a circuit judge is certified and recorded, the box containing the names of jurors previously listed and shall be emptied and all names removed therefrom before such newly listed names are placed in such jury box. If, notwithstanding this provision, some names or papers containing names remain in the jury box, such error or irregularity shall not invalidate the contents of the box or the procurement of any jurors by drawing names therefrom for any subsequent proceeding or jury.
