Registered to vote?

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.

I get the jury duty notice every damn year to prove it.

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.

It's different for each state. Some states it's by registered voters, some states it's by drivers license, and other states it's both.

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."

Of course! I'm registered as an independent.
