They used to do those two (voting list and drivers lcienses) but there were complaints that method did not make a representative jury pool. Now they use some kind of thing (like a town census that lists all inhabitants) but won't say exactly what thing to keep people from subverting the process.

In our county, every 3 years a panel compiles a master list from both drivers license & voting registation. Then names are randomly picked from that list.

If you are registered to vote you could be called. Also when you go to get your drivers license you are automatically registered to vote.
I wasn't registered to vote for years but had a drivers license and never received a jury summons. After I registered to vote, I started getting summonses, so to me that means you have to be a registered voter to be called.

once you have registered to vote you are on the list for active jury duty. normally every 7 yrs or so you'll get a letter to report. doesn't mean you'll sit on a jury though.

It's true, they get your name when you register to vote. Jury duty is your civic duty.
