SECTION 310.80
Recording and checking of verdict and polling of jury
Criminal Procedure (CPL) CHAPTER 11-A, PART 2, TITLE J, ARTICLE 310
§ 310.80 Recording and checking of verdict and polling of jury.

After a verdict has been rendered, it must be recorded on the minutes
and read to the jury, and the jurors must be collectively asked whether
such is their verdict. Even though no juror makes any declaration in the
negative, the jury must, if either party makes such an application, be
polled and each juror separately asked whether the verdict announced by
the foreman is in all respects his verdict. If upon either the
collective or the separate inquiry any juror answers in the negative,
the court must refuse to accept the verdict and must direct the jury to
resume its deliberation. If no disagreement is expressed, the jury must
be discharged from the case, except as otherwise provided in section
400.27.
