Voter Registration

[Florence]

I am going Thursday evening for training to be a voter registrar in my county. I am excited and interested to find out how to do this!

Good for you Florence. The more people who know the ins and outs of the voting process, the better.

+1 Florence. Let us know if your county requires any kind of identification to register. I'm just curious who does and who doesn't these days.

Hi Florence - I did this for a couple of years and it was a lot of fun. I was amazed at how many people are not registered to vote - it just never occurred to them!? And there are a lot of people who don't want to register because they think they are more likely to get called for jury duty. (not true!)

I can't speak to other jurisdictions, but in San Francisco voter rolls are included as one of the places they find jurors.

"Where does the Jury Commissioner obtain names of prospective jurors?

Both the voter registration and motor vehicle records are used as source lists for prospective jurors."

Well, I'm happy with people who don't want to do jury duty also not voting.
