Accepted answer(s)

USCIS officers ask this on the 2008 Civics Test because understanding "american government" is core to how the U.S. system works day to day. Memorize the exact answer above rather than a paraphrase — officers accept the wording USCIS publishes, and "Citizens eighteen (18) and older (can vote)." is the safest phrasing to say out loud in the interview.
This is question 48 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
