   Getting picked for jury duty -> I though

   Just recently, two people I know got a letter in the mail.  They were   
   selected for preliminary screening for jury duty.  This involves   
   answering some basic yes/no questions.   
      
   According to that letter, they were selected from a list of municiple   
   propery tax records - NOT from a voter registration list.   
      
   I was always under the impression that potential jurists were selected   
   from lists of voter registrations (either provincial or federal   
   elections).   
      
   Does anyone know more about this?   
      
   Do different court systems (provincial, federal) select jurists based on   
   different lists?
