I did a search of previous threads but didn’t find any relevant information. I received in the mail today a jury summons from Buffalo today and of course my mail comes too late to contact anyone so I figured I would ask here to see if anyone else has dealt with this. My problem is that I recently moved to Baldwinsville NY (near Syracuse) and there is no way I should have to drive close to 3 hours to go to this crap. Looking online my county (onondaga) is not on there list of covered counties so I am thinking this wont be an issue and I will be excused but I am wondering if anyone has had to deal with this. I plan on calling the DMV tomorrow morning after work to update my address, and I planned on calling the number I found on the Erie County Juror website but since tomorrow is election day I am thinking they might be closed. Any thoughts? ---

Yeah definitely call. They should just have people who are unemployed do jury duty. ---

I planned on calling, I was just wondering if someone else had to deal with this before and if it will be a big hassle or not. ---

Then they’d have to hire 3 new people to review the messages because it’s not in the union approved list of job tasks the person responsible for answering the phone is required to do. ---

Finally got an answer at the number on this site [http://www.nyjuror.gov/home/frame.php?http://www.eriejury.com](http://www.nyjuror.gov/home/frame.php?http://www.eriejury.com) and all I have to do is fill out the dumb survey they send and include something that proves I have relocated like a copy of my lease agreement. ---
