2025 civics test · Question 64 · Rights and Responsibilities
Who can vote in federal elections, run for federal office, and serve on a jury in the United States?
Any one of these answers is accepted
- Citizens
- Citizens of the United States
- U.S. citizens
What this means
The people who can vote in federal elections, run for federal office, and serve on a jury are United States citizens.
These three activities are set aside for citizens. Voting for the president and Congress, running for those offices, and serving on a jury are all ways citizens take part in running the country and its courts. People who live here but are not citizens have most other rights, but not these.
The answer is simply “citizens” or “U.S. citizens.”
Why this is on the test
This 2025 question gathers three citizen-only activities into one, so a single word answers it as long as you remember what ties them together.
How this question is asked
On the 2025 civics test, the officer asks up to 20 of the 128 questions out loud and you pass by answering 12 correctly. You answer in your own words. There is no multiple choice and nothing to write down for the civics portion.
