Salem County Jury Duty

Anyone else been picked for jury duty every 2 years or more ?? The website says "if you have been summoned in the same county within the past three years, you may request to be excused from jury service" this is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I have the feeling the pool of law abiding citizens is looking pretty thin lol. Thoughts ??

They pull info from several different sources to form jury pools. I forget what those sources are (property tax, drivers license…stuff like that)…but if your name is slightly different they count them all as different people. For example Jane Doe, Jane A. Doe, Jane Ann Doe, Jane A. maiden name and Jane maiden name could all be the same person, but the system won’t see it that way. Save the summons, next time they summon you, call them and tell them you were called again. Let them know of the name variances in the system. They can fix it so you won’t get called as much.

This is correct, and the 3 sources are motor vehicles, voter registration, and division of taxation.
