The poll tax required individuals to pay a fee to be eligible to vote in elections. It was historically used as a means to restrict voting rights, particularly among low-income individuals and marginalized groups, as the fee often posed a financial barrier. The tax was abolished in the United States through the 24th Amendment in 1964 for federal elections and later declared unconstitutional in state elections by the Supreme Court in 1966.
