i dont vote. somewhere along the line some dumbass thought it would be a really good idea to pull jury nominees from the voter pool. jury duty is a complete waste of my time, it pays absolute dogshit, and I've never really had much trust in the justice system to begin with - so I am not registered to vote in the state I live in. the week before I plan on leaving for greener pastures, I will register to vote.
Jury service is one of the greatest services you can perform. You donβt have much trust in the justice system? For that one case you can help ensure itβs done. Take it seriously

And that's fair enough. Not great for the people whose fate hang in the balance without someone like you on the jury, though.
In some states they also pull from DMV records.
