In my state on the county level they are drawn from the voter registration if it hasn't changed since I retired. I don't know how it works on the state and federal level but I believe it is the same.
Regardless it is nothing more than a formality and with the control the prosecutor has over the system for the most part it is a done deal.The Grand Jury has the say in the degree of the crime but I have never seen a Grand Jury no bill a cases the prosecutor wanted to prosecute.

That's my understanding as well. My sister-in-law sat on one, and she said they simply ratified whatever the DA presented.
