About 235,000 juror questionnaires will be mailed to Hawaii residents starting Monday to help select persons for jury duty next year, the state Judiciary said Wednesday.

The questionnaires will be sent to people with Hawaii driver’s licenses and registered voters in Hawaii, the judiciary said.

About 85,000 will sent to Oahu residents, 70,000 on the Big Island, 55,000 on Maui and 25,000 on Kauai

Those who receive questionnaires have 10 days to return them to the Jury Pool Office.

The Judiciary said anyone who fails to respond may be penalized.

To be eligible to serve as a juror, a person must be able to read and understand English, 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and a Hawaii resident, the Judiciary said.

The judiciary said for the first time, residents will also be mailed a form in which they can seek certification of a permanent disability that prohibits them from serving as a juror.
