E.D.N.C. Local Criminal Rule 31.1
Taking Verdicts and Polling the Jury
The court may take the verdict of the jury in open court. Unless a defendant has
fled or has been removed from the courtroom for misconduct, he or she must be in
the courtroom when the verdict is announced. Unless the contrary affirmatively
appears on the record, it will be presumed that the parties were present or by their
voluntary absence waived their presence. The jury will not be polled unless a
party requests a poll at the time the verdict is taken or a poll is ordered by the
court.
