Time clauses
Hello,
Is the sentence below an example of 'time clauses'? :
1. When I am adult, I will participate in elections.
Or should i say:
2. When I will be adult, I will participate in elections.
If the first second is not correct, is this one ok?
3. When I turn 18, I will participate in elections.
Would be grateful for your help,
Kind regards,
Coincidence.

I agree with GG but I would add that number one would sound a lot more natural if you used an article before "adult" like this:
When I am an adult, I will participate in elections.
and even better like this:
When I'm an adult, I will participate in elections.
When I am an adult, I will participate in elections.
and even better like this:
When I'm an adult, I will participate in elections.
