The United States District Court-Middle District of Florida's "Plan for the Qualification and Selection of Grand and Petit Jurors" revised January 12, 2005, directs that voter registration lists shall be the primary source lists for filling the divisional master jury wheels. Every odd-numbered year, prospective jurors are selected randomly from the voter registration lists in the respective counties and their names are put into what is known as the divisional "Master Jury Wheel". Prospective jurors are then sent a juror qualification questionnaire. This questionnaire must be completed and returned to the Court to verify that the juror is qualified for jury service. Those individuals who "qualify" for service may eventually be summoned to report for service.
