how do you validate a users option in python code example

Example: python check if input() gives error

try:
    # Note: Python 2.x users should use raw_input, the equivalent of 3.x's input
    age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
except ValueError:
    print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
else:
	if age >= 18: 
    	print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
	else:
    	print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")
