Should I register to vote to get picked for jury duty faster? ?
So I'm an ancap and I'm never going to vote. I'm morally opposed to voting for someone to control non violent individuals and/or take their money so I'll never do it. But I really really want to be picked for jury duty (at least picked for the pool of potential jurors). I'm 32 and haven't been summoned at all yet. I'm not too keen on the idea of registering to vote but would it really help me to get summoned faster?

Each state has a different method of picking potential jurors. For some, it is indeed the voters list. For others, it's the DMV list. Still others have a combination of lists, including real estate records, they use. You can check for your state online to determine how they compile their list.
I can directly verify that voting registration is the primary way pools of potential jurors are selected for jury duty. 100% of the people I have helped to secure driver's licenses and register to vote, (through the DMV), got called not long after and they had never been summoned before despite having longstanding permanent addresses.
These were people who got help from a nonprofit organization I was working with to help them get driver's licenses to assist in getting to their new jobs and register to vote, (if they wanted to). Those that didn't register to vote but got their licenses anyway were never summoned. That cannot be a coincidence.
That is why I think it will be hilarious when many of the 'new' Biden voters get called for jury duty and never show up because they don't exist.
