1.16.060 Poll of Jury Before Recording Verdict; Either Party Authorized; Dissenting Juror; Further Deliberation, Dismissal of Jury

When a verdict is rendered and before it is recorded, the jury may be polled on the request of either party or the Court, in which case each juror must be asked whether it is his verdict. If any juror answers in the negative, the jury must be sent out for further deliberation. If upon returning after further deliberation, the jury is polled again and a juror answers that the verdict is not his own, then the judge shall dismiss the jury and a new trial will be ordered.
