Abstract

Election officials often say that many Americans practice not register to vote for fear of being chosen to jury duty. The just published study on the topic claims that aversion to jury service depresses turnout by more than than seven percentage points. We use questions from the 1991 National Election Studies Pilot Study to define beliefs almost the sources of jury lists, and we relate those impressions to registration status. Nosotros find that barely half the public professes any cognition of how juries are chosen, and just 42% believe that they come from voter registration records. Estimations from a multivariate assay point that fear of jury service accounts for less than a one percentage point drop in turnout. We discuss the implications of this finding both for reform proposals and the rational option theory of turnout.
