Money paid in order to vote is called a "poll tax." This fee was historically used as a prerequisite for voting, particularly in the United States, to restrict access to the electoral process for certain groups, especially African Americans and low-income individuals. Poll taxes were declared unconstitutional by the 24th Amendment in 1964 for federal elections, and later by the Supreme Court in 1966 for state elections.
