(b) The commissioner may mail to each prospective juror the juror qualification questionnaire. The person to whom the questionnaire is mailed shall complete and sign it and return it to the commissioner within ten days of mailing. If the questionnaire has not been returned or properly completed, or if the commissioner otherwise determines that a personal interview is required, the commissioner may summon the prospective juror to appear before him or her for the purpose of filling out the questionnaire or being examined as to his or her competence, qualifications, eligibility and liability to serve as a juror. Such person shall not be entitled to any fee or mileage when responding for such purpose. The summons may be served personally or by leaving it at the person's residence or place of business with a person of suitable age and discretion, or by mail. If served personally or by substitution the summons shall require the person summoned to attend not less than five days after service. If served by mail the summons shall require the person summoned to attend not less than eight days after mailing.
