Actually...
They stopped getting jury lists from voter registration lists. People were beginning to not register to vote out of fear of being called to jury duty. So, now they get a jury list from the DMV. Basically, if you have a license, you're eligible to be a member of a jury.
I could be wrong and this could just be a Florida thing but I'm pretty sure that this is how they get their jury lists through out the rest of the US. (well...you're in Canada so it might be different
)
Back on topic:
I am registered to vote and I've exercised that right in all the national and state elections. I've also voted in a few city/county elections. It's just hard to vote for the city/county elections since I'm registered to vote in a county different from where I now reside and don't know much about the candidates/issues (as I'm sure this is the case with many college students or people who have just recently graduated).
