When the jurors have agreed upon a verdict, the members thereof must be conducted into court, their names called by the clerk, and the verdict rendered by the foreman. The verdict must be in writing signed by the foreman and must be read by the clerk to the jurors and inquiry made whether it is their verdict. If any juror disagrees, all jurors must be sent out again, but if no disagreement is expressed and neither party requires the jurors to be polled, the verdict is complete and the jury must be discharged from the case. Either party may require the jurors to be polled, which is done by the court or clerk asking each juror if it is that juror's verdict. If any one answers in the negative, the jurors again must be sent out.
