    Exactly 21 to vote?
    In four years I am turning 21 and I am very eager to vote...

    But Election day 2012 I will be 20, 11 months and 12 days...
    That isnīt enough right? :confused:

    But Dave isn't even 18 yet to vote now. But he will be able to vote in the next election. It's 21 to drink and 18 to vote.

    I could be wrong, but I believe 18 to vote is a federal thing, not state.

    Nope, doesn't depend on the state, it is a Federal law. 18 to vote and 18 to register for the draft. You can do both at the same time.
