We are aware of a high number of scam texts and emails about fines being sent (from 18 August 2026). We do not send direct payment links via text message or email. If you receive a message about a fine and are unsure whether it is genuine, please contact our call centre on 0800 4 FINES (0800 434 637) before making any payment. Read more about identifying scams.
All jurors summoned for the week commencing Monday the 24th of August 2026, who are not currently sitting on a jury do not need to attend court and are released from jury service.
Thank you.
There are no current preliminary ballots planned.
Jurors make an important contribution to the New Zealand justice system and the wider community. Your commitment is very much valued and appreciated.
