You are an elector, so long as you are a registered and legal citizen of the United States.

You are talking about the members of the Electoral College who technically elect the President and Vice-President. The selection method varies from state to state. Each state has the number of electors equal to the amount of members of the House and Senate from that state. That is why a candidate can win the overall popular vote in the U.S. and lose the election.
See source for state specifics.
