Abstract

Ballot officials ofttimes say that many Americans do not register to vote for fear of beingness called to jury duty. The only published study on the topic claims that disfavor to jury service depresses turnout by more than vii pct points. We use questions from the 1991 National Election Studies Pilot Report to define beliefs well-nigh the sources of jury lists, and nosotros relate those impressions to registration status. We find that barely half the public professes any cognition of how juries are called, and just 42% believe that they come up from voter registration records. Estimations from a multivariate analysis signal that fearfulness of jury service accounts for less than a i percentage indicate drop in turnout. We discuss the implications of this finding both for reform proposals and the rational choice theory of turnout.
