At least six days before the drawing of jurors under section 2313.23 of the Revised Code, the commissioners of jurors shall publish notice of the drawing, in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the county. They shall also serve written notice upon the clerk of the court of common pleas, the sheriff, and at least one judge of the court of common pleas of the county.
