Are you registered to vote?

[straylightrise]

This site:

http://www.eac.gov/voter/Register%20to%20Vote

is the main site where you can get the national voter registration form. This allows you to register to vote.

Please make sure everyone you know is registered! Absentee ballots are available for voters in most state up to 7 DAYS before the election.

My wife just got one of those. I've been summoned multiple times. I never get picked.

Jury duty is fun - though it does mess up school/work schedules. My mother continued to not go to jury duty when my siblings and I were growing up - now she claims she can't go because of the puppies needing her (we were replaced by puppies)

Jury Duty gets selected by drivers licenses #. That's what the Judge told us when I had it. It had to be since I wasn't registered to vote until this year.

If you go to your state or county website, you can usually find a FAQ on it. For example, here's North Carolina's:

"At least every two years, a Master Jury List is prepared in each county, using the lists of registered voters and licensed drivers. For each week of court, citizens’ names are randomly selected from the Master Jury List, and jury summons are issued for those whose names are drawn."

Figured as much..It sucks but was lucky Didn't get to set on a jury and set home for the 1 and half weeks.

yes registered, and yes would serve on a jury with pride. Got called in once for a civil trial about hospital negligence, but was denied cause my Dad had just died from, er, hospital negligence.

[dallasrocks]

yeah, I registered about a year ago

[phatlip12]

Of course! I'm registered as an independent.

Hell yes. I think you should be taxed more if you aren't. Don't like it? Then register to vote to change it instead of bitching.

I'm a conservative Democrat registered Democrat, though a bit more independent.

I voted yes, because I am registered to vote. I am no longer going to vote, however.

Funny, I have been registered to vote since 1995. I have voted in every election except one (I was in the hospital at the time and it was too late to get an absentee ballot). I have never been called for jury duty once.

Honestly, wouldn't mind though.
