Sec. 1312.

The board shall apply the key number uniformly to the names on the list received pursuant to section 1310 and compile a list or card index, to be known as the first jury list, which shall include every name and only those names as the application of the key number has designated. The board shall do this as follows:

(a)Select by a random method a starting number between 0 and the key number.

(b)Count down the list the number of names to reach the starting number. That name shall be placed on the first jury list.

(c)Continue from that name counting down the list, beginning to count again with the number 1, until the key number is reached. That name shall be placed on the first jury list.

(d)Repeat the process provided in subdivision

(c)until the whole list has been counted and the names placed on the first jury list.

(e)The board shall then remove from the first jury list the name of any person who its records show served, pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, as a petit or grand juror in any court of record in the county at any time in the preceding 1 year.

(f)The board, with the approval of the chief circuit judge, may remove from the first jury list the name of any person who has been convicted of a felony and is therefore disqualified from serving as a juror pursuant to section 1307a(1)(e).
