23DH  Qualification and liability for serving on jury

Qualification for serving on jury
 (1) A person is qualified to serve as a juror if:
 (a) the person's name is on the jury roll for the applicable jury district; and
 (b) the person is entitled to vote at elections of Members of the House of Representatives in accordance with subsection 93(2) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918.
This subsection has effect subject to sections 23DI and 23DJ.
Note 1: A person on the jury roll who is entitled to vote may not be qualified to serve as a juror, see sections 23DI and 23DJ.
Note 2: For applicable jury district, see section 23DL.

Liability to serve on jury
 (2) A person who is qualified under subsection (1) to serve as a juror is liable to serve as a juror in particular proceedings unless the person:
 (a) is excused from that service for those proceedings under section 23DQ, 23DR or 23DV; or
 (b) is discharged as a juror or potential juror for those proceedings under Subdivision E.

Lack of qualification does not affect validity of verdict
 (3) Anything done by a jury is not invalid merely because a juror on the jury was not qualified to serve as a juror.
