The 24th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1964, made poll taxes illegal in federal elections. It prohibits the imposition of any tax as a condition for voting in federal elections, aimed at removing financial barriers that disproportionately affected low-income and minority voters. The amendment was later upheld by the Supreme Court in 1966, which extended its applicability to state elections as well.
