Text

When the jurors have agreed upon a verdict, the members thereof must be conducted into
court, their names called by the clerk, and the verdict rendered by the foreman. The verdict
must be in writing signed by the foreman and must be read by the clerk to the jurors and inquiry
made whether it is their verdict. If any juror disagrees, all jurors must be sent out again, but if no
disagreement is expressed and neither party requires the jurors to be polled, the verdict is
complete and the jury must be discharged from the case. Either party may require the jurors to
be polled, which is done by the court or clerk asking each juror if it is that juror's verdict. If any
one answers in the negative, the jurors again must be sent out.
