To be selected for jury service you must:
- be on one of New Zealand's electoral rolls, and
- live within a jury district of a jury trial court
On a monthly basis the Electoral Enrolment Centre (EEC), at the request of the Ministry of Justice, randomly selects New Zealanders who live in geographic blocks within a jury district of each jury trial court. This selection is then sent to the Ministry of Justice.
Jury districts are generally within 45 kilometres from the jury trial court although in some cases the jury district may be smaller where another court is close by.
A full list of the jury districts can be seen here:
