Not having Jury Duty is like, the least important thing when it comes to voting. Usually they pay you for your time, and hell, sometimes you show up and they either strike you from the pool or don't have cases left for the day, and send you home soon after you arrive. I had jury duty earlier this year, got taken out of the jury pool, and I still got paid for my time.

He said he was voting in 2016, so he is in jury duty list already and this argument is pointless.

They must have updated the system in my area. On Thursday, I got an email telling me I didn’t have to show up for jury duty that was supposed to start Monday.

Where I'm at you have to call a number every evening to see if you need to show up in the morning.

Yeah, that’s what I was expecting, too. I’ve had to do that before.

Any of you don't want to be on jury duty just saying you don't wish to do it can be enough to be removed fron the jury pool (alternatively seeming way too interested could also be a tactic)

They pay you. Not very much though. If you're living paycheck to paycheck it's a financial hit.
