(a) Generally. Any party to a municipal action may challenge by written motion the composition of the juror pool for substantial failure to comply with the requirements of this division. The written motion shall be filed prior to the swearing in of the jury selected to try the case and shall be accompanied by one or more affidavits specifying the supporting facts and demographic data. If the court finds that the affidavit, if true, demonstrates such a substantial failure, the moving party shall be entitled to present testimony by any person responsible for the implementation of this division, any records used in the selection and summoning of jurors, and any other relevant evidence. If the court determines by a preponderance of the evidence that in selecting the jury there has been a substantial failure to comply with this division, the court shall discharge the jury panel and stay proceedings pending the summoning of a new juror pool. The procedures described in this subsection shall be the exclusive means by which a party may challenge a jury on the ground that the juror pool was not selected in conformity with this division.

(b) Irregularity in selecting, summoning, and managing jurors. The court shall not declare a mistrial or set aside a verdict based upon allegations of any irregularity in selecting, summoning, and managing jurors or in limiting the length of any term of juror service or based upon any other defect in any procedure performed under this division unless the moving party objects to such irregularity or defect as soon as possible after its discovery and demonstrates specific injury or prejudice.

(c) Challenge to entire jury panel. A challenge to the panel is an objection to the entire panel of prospective trial jurors made by the defendant or by the prosecuting attorney. (Code 1979, § 25-88)
