I meat this girl on omegele and she is really cool, we talked for a long time and it was nice, but urly in the conversation I made reference to being 18, witch I am not. So how do I tell her with out it being really weird?

PS the reason I said I was 18 was because she asked me if I had voted yet. The first thing to my mind was to say no I had not, implying I could if I wanted to.

I would just be honest with her, tell her you think she may have misunderstood or misinterpreted your age, and tell her how old you actually are. Trying to put up a ruse about your age isn't going to work. It's not like you can go back in time and be born earlier. Don't lie to her or try and trick her or anything, just calmly tell her the whole truth--that you think she may have gotten the wrong idea about your age, that you're 16 and not 18 and as such can't vote. And that that's why you said you hadn't voted yet--because, in fact, you couldn't. If she's reasonable at all, It think she would be able to understand that, provided that you didn't already lie to her about your age.

How does "The first thing to my mind was to say no I had not"

directly imply you're 18? Had you said not yet, or not not this year, then maybe it would sound like you said you were 18. But saying no is the truth, not "oh yea I'm 18 but not yet."

Unless you're leaving something out, you didn't directly imply anything other than you didn't vote nor did you even reference it.

Either way let her know you're 16 if it's bothering you. Apologize if she got the wrong impression, honesty and fixing your mistakes is better than hoping you can pull off being two years older than your actual age for life.

At least show her you can fix your wrongs, most people prefer someone that can fix things versus just lying about it and never doing anything. Makes us think, what else have they lied about and poof, there goes any trust.
