No you can't ignore it. Jury duty requests are determined by the registered voters in the area. If you aren't a citizen, you can't vote. Contact them and explain, think it must be a mistake you were summoned.

If you are not a citizen then...how did they even get your name? You have to be a citizen to be called for jury duty! Only a US citizen can be on a jury.

It is not right that you do not respond. Just indicate on the card that you are ineligible because you are not a citizen. They should take you off the call list asap.

You should respond but not serve. Just let them know you are not a US citizen and they will excuse you.

Call the number. tell them you are not a citizen. They may make you come and show your non-citizen proof (your green card).
