HRS §612-14
Choosing who goes into the qualified jury pool
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗After people return their jury forms, the clerk checks each one and picks those who are qualified and not exempt. Exempt people can still be picked if they give up their exemption. The chosen names go into the qualified jury wheel for the next year, unless the court lets someone out for a legal reason.

(b) The names of the persons so selected shall be placed in the qualified jury wheel, to be used in compiling lists of prospective jurors subject to service during the ensuing year; provided that the clerk, with the approval of the court, may excuse a prospective juror for any cause set forth under section 612-7, in which case the name of the excused person shall not be placed in the qualified jury wheel. (c) The clerk may place in the qualified jury wheel for further service the name of any person who, in the previous jury year, wilfully or without reasonable excuse failed to appear as summoned.
