Come back to Electionland if you have any more questions.

If you are 18 and a citizen of the U.S. - Of course you are eligible. What is WEIRD to me is this: If you are a citizen of the U.S. or you have been here in the U.S. for longer than a few days - Why the HELL don't you already know the answer to this question? You are either an idiot or just now climbing out of the cave you have been living.

You can get the information directly from the Secretary of State. This is the office that is in charge of elections and can give you the most up to date information.
