The 24th Amendment to the United States Constitution bars the use of poll taxes. This makes it illegal in all states to use poll taxes and the non-payment of such taxes to keep anyone from voting. The amendment therefore stops any and all use of poll taxes.
The 24th Amendment, ratified in 1964, eliminated the use of poll taxes in federal elections. Poll taxes were primarily used to disenfranchise poor individuals, particularly African Americans and poor white voters, in southern states. By removing this financial barrier, the amendment aimed to promote greater electoral participation and equality in the democratic process.

Poll taxes were effectively abolished by the 24th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1964, which prohibited the use of poll taxes in federal elections. Additionally, in 1966, the Supreme Court case Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections ruled that poll taxes in state elections were unconstitutional. These actions collectively eliminated poll taxes as a barrier to voting in the United States.
The use of poll taxes primarily affected voter participation, particularly among African Americans and low-income individuals in the United States. By imposing a fee to vote, poll taxes disenfranchised many who could not afford to pay, effectively suppressing their political power and representation. This practice was part of a broader system of Jim Crow laws aimed at maintaining racial segregation and inequality. Poll taxes were eventually abolished by the 24th Amendment in 1964 for federal elections and later declared unconstitutional in state elections by the Supreme Court in 1966.
Depends. In the UK people use poll taxes as a station a some people even use them as money stations. They work by the Government and PMs and MPs seeing how much people and how much money the people have to pay the poll stations. Some people even never pay poll taxes! That makes them stupid people!
The 24th Amendment stated poll taxes could not be used to deny a person the right to vote.
