You can register to vote when 17 in some places. The registration process is handled by the individual states and they can provide you with specific details. The actual voting age is 18, but there are instances where a 17 year old can vote in a primary, when they are going to be old enough to vote in the main election. I voted when I was 17 in the Presidential Primary, because I was going to be 18 when the actual election took place.
