A. The court shall order the summoning of the persons to attend the court at the time fixed in the order to form the jury, by giving personal notice to each of them, or by leaving a written notice to that effect at his place of residence, with some person of proper age and discretion, or by mailing such notice by first class mail, registered mail or certified mail.

B. Any juror who fails to appear in response to a notice sent by first class mail shall be immediately resummoned by a notice sent by first class mail, registered mail or certified mail and shall not be subject to attachment or fine as provided in section 21-334 unless the juror fails to appear in response to this second mailing. Notwithstanding section 21-301, subsection D, for any juror whose mail is returned as undeliverable, the jury commissioner shall notify the county recorder who shall send a follow-up notice to the juror pursuant to section 16-166, subsection A, including information regarding possible removal from the voter registration rolls, and on completion of the notification process pursuant to section 16-166, the county recorder shall transfer the juror to the inactive voter list.

C. If jurors are required by a justice court or municipal court, in addition to the method of summoning jurors pursuant to subsection A of this section the jurors, on written order of the justice of the peace or magistrate of the court, may be summoned by the sheriff, constable, marshal, policeman or court of that jurisdiction from among the residents of the city, town or precinct who are competent to serve as jurors. The summons shall be served not less than three days before the time the juror is required to appear unless a juror, after being notified of the three-day notice requirement, waives, either orally or in writing, the three-day notice.

D. The officer shall notify each juror that he is being summoned and of the time and place at which his attendance is required. The officer, at the time fixed in the order for appearance of the jurors, shall return the order with a list of the summoned jurors endorsed on the order.
