   The methods that the Ontario provincial and federal court systems use to   
   select potential jurors have already been posted (did you not read   
   them?).   
      
   The Ontario method did not mention the use of driver's license lists.   
   It mentioned the use of property tax roles courtesy of MPAC, and this   
   agrees with the forms received recently by two people I know.   
      
   I've been reading some information about what sort of cases are tried in   
   provincial court - and it seems that most provincial trials are carried   
   out in front of a judge - no jury.   
      
   It would seem that the trials that you really don't want to be a jurist   
   for are performed by the federal court system (murder, etc) and it seems   
   that your registration to vote in a federal election is what puts you at   
   risk to be a juror for those trials.  I pitty the people that will be   
   selected to sit on the jury for the upcoming trial for the abduction and   
   murder of that Woodstock girl.   
      
   I think it's possible to have your name removed from the voting list at   
   the polling station at the time you vote.  Clearly, that's a good thing   
   to do - assuming you vote in the first place, which is really not worth   
   doing when the consequence is potential jury duty.
