On receiving a request for permanent exemption, what must the clerk do?

• A. Deliver a copy of the exemption to the county voter registrar.
• B. File the exemption in the court file only.
• C. Notify the prosecutor.
• D. Notify the mayor.

Answer: (D)

Permanent exemptions from jury service affect more than the court record; they change who may be summoned across the system. When a request for a permanent exemption is granted, the clerk should forward a copy of the exemption to the county voter registrar so the juror lists and voter records can be updated accordingly. This ensures the person won’t be repeatedly drawn for juries in the future. The exemption also gets filed in the court file for the official record, but filing alone doesn’t update external lists. Notifying the prosecutor or the mayor isn’t part of the required administrative action, since they don’t manage juror or voter records.
