Who Is Eligible to Vote in the United States?
Eligible voters in the U.S. meet the criteria listed by the U.S. Constitution. But the following are the general requirements for eligible voters in the United States.

U.S. citizenship. The voter should be a U.S. citizen. This includes those born in the United States and naturalized U.S. citizens.

Residency. Voters should meet the state’s residency requirements where they wish to vote. Each state has its own rules when it comes to residency requirements.

Age. The voter should at least be 18 years of age (voting age) by election day.

Registration. The voter should follow the registration rules of their state. Note that voter registration law may vary in every state. For instance, some states allow same-day registration, meaning the voter can register to vote on election day. Other states have specific deadlines to register to vote.

Who Is Not Eligible to Vote?
The following groups of people are not eligible to vote in the United States:

Non-U.S. citizens
People convicted of certain types of felonies
U.S. citizens younger than 18
Some people who are mentally incapacitated
Also, residents of U.S. territories, although U.S. citizens, cannot vote in presidential elections. They can vote in presidential primaries but not in general elections. This is because these territories do not have representatives in Congress.
