What if the court uses all eligible jurors in the jury pool before the end of the year?
Rule 9 states that jurors who serve “may not be selected for another jury until all nonexempt persons in the jury pool” have been called for jury duty. This implies that if you exhaust your jury pool, you can recall persons in that same jury pool to serve on another trial. However, note that Rule 6 provides an exemption for a juror who actually served and Rule 17 provides for a cause challenge for any juror who served on a jury in the same county within the previous 365 days that resulted in a verdict. Also, the rules do not prohibit the court from compiling a supplemental pool in the event a court exhausts the jury pool for that year. One way to avoid this issue would be to increase the size of the jury pool.
