Separate tickets corresponding to all such names shall be placed in the jury wheel or drawing box, shall be thoroughly mixed, and shall be drawn one at a time and in rotation by the register of deeds, treasurer, and sheriff, or their designees, until the required panels have been filled. As each name is drawn, it shall be recorded by the clerk, and the completed list shall be signed by the drawing officers.
The drawing officers may use an electronic or mechanical system or device in carrying out their duties pursuant to this section. If an electronic jury selection system is used, the drawing officers shall sign the list to indicate that the selection was fairly performed to the best of their knowledge.
