What is the name of your state? nc
Just a question, is the only way they chose who does jury duty is by who registers to vote?

Nope. Some states also use drivers license records.

In my state of WV, they choose potential jurors from driver's licenses, property taxes, or voter registration. I've had a license and property tax for many years and have never been summoned, but when I registered to vote--2 weeks later I was summoned for jury duty.

My sister, who has never registered to vote, was summoned a week before me. We think the reason she was called was because she had just started a new business, and they went by that.

However, the judge that I'm assigned to said that the 2 most important things you can do, (in his opinion) as a citizen of this country, is VOTE and serve on a JURY.
