eligible voter
Can cast ballots
An eligible voter is a person who meets the legal requirements to cast a ballot in an election.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction but typically include citizenship, age (usually 18 or older), and residency.
Being eligible doesn't mean being registered—many eligible voters haven't completed registration: Millions of eligible voters stayed home on election day.
