var names = $('input.select:checked').closest('tr').find('.citizen-name');
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
   arr.push($(names[i]).text());
}
var str = arr.join();

$(names[i]).text() at the place of the question marks would work. http://api.jquery.com/text/

You can do,

$('input.select:checked').closest('tr').find('.citizen-name').each(function () {
    alert($(this).text());
});

OR

var names = $('input.select:checked').closest('tr').find('.citizen-name');
for (var i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
    alert(names.eq(i).text());
}
