§ 22-3409 Summoning jurors in misdemeanor case.

If you're charged with a misdemeanor and you ask for a jury trial, the judge has to call in at least 12 potential jurors. These jurors come from the same jury pool used for other criminal and civil cases in that county. They're chosen the same way regular jurors are chosen there.

This means you don't get a special or different process just because it's a misdemeanor case. The court uses its normal system for picking jurors, and it has to bring in a minimum of 12 people to choose from. From that group of 12 or more, the final jury for your trial will be selected.
