MUST VOTE:
The answer should be Abigail only.
Although Abigail and Barbara both fulfill the minimum eligibility to vote since both are above 19 and are either citizens or a nonresident for more than 5 years. However, the first point says "Every citizen who is eligible must vote on election day." This does not imply that NON RESIDENTS must also vote.
Talking about Charles, he does not meet the age criteria.
Hence, the answer is ABIGAIL ONLY
MUST NOT VOTE:
Charles is the only one who does not fulfill the minimum criteria. Hence, Charles is the only one who cannot vote.
The answer should be Abigail only.

Two Eligibility Criteria -
1. Age must be 19
2. Either "Citizen" OR "Non citizen who has lived there for 5 yrs"
Necessary - Eligible citizen MUST vote
Abigail: a citizen who is currently 19 years old
Abigail is a citizen and age 19 so she is an eligible citizen. So be MUST vote.
Barbara: a 7-year resident noncitizen who is currently 19 years old
Barbara is eligible because she is 19 and non citizen who has lived there for 5 yrs. So ELIGIBLE but not necessray to vote.
Charles: a 7-year resident noncitizen who is currently 18 years old.
Charles is 18 yrs old so he is not eligible. Hence, he MUST NOT vote.
ANSWER: Must Vote - Abigail only, Must Not Vote - Charles only
