Imprisonment in Penitentiary<br />

In trials for offenses against the provisions of Code,<br />

Article 33, or any other law relating to elections or voter<br />

registration, each party shall be entitled to twenty peremptory<br />

challenges if the offense is punishable by imprisonment in the<br />

penitentiary.<br />

Cross reference: Code, Article 33, §24-31.<br />

(5) (4) Alternate Jurors<br />

For each alternate juror to be selected, the State is<br />

permitted one additional peremptory challenge for each defendant<br />

<strong>and</strong> each defendant is permitted two additional peremptory<br />

challenges. The additional peremptory challenges may be used<br />

only against alternate jurors, <strong>and</strong> other peremptory challenges<br />

allowed by this section may not be used against alternate jurors.<br />

REPORTER’S NOTE<br />

Chapter 585 (SB 118), Acts of 1998, deleted Code, Article<br />

33, §24-31 because the Election Law Article Review Committee was<br />

of the opinion that peremptory challenges in election law offense<br />

cases are covered by Code, Courts Article, §8-301, <strong>and</strong> these<br />

cases do not need to be singled out in the Election Law Article.<br />

Subsection (a)(4) is now obsolete <strong>and</strong> is proposed to be deleted.<br />
