United States citizens, aged 18 or older, are eligible to vote in United States elections. 

A citizen is a person who, by place of birth, nationality of one or both parents, or naturalization is granted full rights and responsibilities as a member of a nation or political community. 

Naturalization refers to granting U.S. citizenship to someone who was not originally a U.S. citizen, after their birth.  This is part of Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
