Contact your registrar of voters to register to vote. Jury duty is pretty random and you do not need to sign up for it.

I am not sure if it differs from state to state but, go to your local or country election board and registar to vote. You might need someting ( utility bill) and something to prove you are a citizen. In my state, they draw( randomly) from elegible voters for jury duty. In some states, as soon as you get a drivers license, they put you into the system to vote.

Designer,

I was able to find this website based on your local USCIS office of Philadelphia. The website can tell you wher eyou can go to register to vote. In Georgia, we are selected randomly for jury duty if you are registered to vote.

Indiana, Allen county used to use voter records to pick from for Jury duty. Some people did not vote just so they would not be pick for Jury duty. The list of names was just to small and people were being call back up every few years. So they expanded the list of name to include drivers license, property ownership, city utilities, pet registrations, library cards. Basically any place the county can get a list of names you are now in the mix for jury duty.

It is an honor to do jury duty but don't be in such a hurry. It can be quite traumatic to know you hold some ones life or at least there future in your hands.

Thanks... LOL.. I'm in no hurry to be called for Jury Duty, I just wanted to be sure that I am in the system to be called upon if need be.

Well if you have a drivers licence already, then you are in the system. Jury Duty pulls people out of Voter Registration pools and Drivers Licence Pools so good chance you are already in the system.

Of course many of us have been called for Jury Duty when we weren't citizens yet because you don't need to be one to get a drivers licence so it's just a simple call to get out of it, but once you become one, you increase your chances a fraction of a % when you register to vote.

I unfortunately got called less then a year later because of the Voter Reg card (luckily wasn't called), then got called up again a month later (which you should be removed if you are not selected for the remainder of the year). Turns out I had a short form name on my Drivers Licence and my official name on my Voters Reg, so I was in the system twice and the computer thought I was two different people...

Since I already knew where to register to vote for my wife and stepdaughter, was no problem for them. But for the fun of it, typed in, "where to register of vote in my city and state". Found it in a second and was correct, our city's clerk office.

This and meeting a woman beyond my most wildest dreams is the part of a computer I like, before, had to pick up the home number and call some official county government and ask these questions, but couldn't do that for find a woman. The part I don't like besides spam, viruses, and the fact the FBI is reading my emails or the state is keeping track of my out of state purchases so I am paying sales tax or will get fined. Dealing with the USCIS and IRS would be impossible without a computer or even making an appointment with our DMV.

No uniformity in the USA, every city, township, county, and state is different, no set rules on this.
