I think that varies by state. In states I'm familiar with, there is no volunteer process because it wouldn't be random. Everybody gets summoned periodically and you can get excused for a variety of reasons.
Part of the reason Hollywood makes so many jokes about getting out of jury duty is because they want to undermine our judicial system and our country so they can get away with more crimes.
You can literally volunteer to be a member of the jury.
They only summon people because essentially no one volunteers.
I plan to do a bit of that once I retire.
I know a lot of people talk about using Jury Nullification to get off the jury but I think that is exactly the reason to BE on the jury.
If I was to be on Kyle's jury he would be found innocent regardless of the charges the tyrannical state government put up on him.

Thank you for your service.
