The 24th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits a poll tax (or other types of tax) in order to vote. This meant that every citizen who registered to vote could vote without paying a fee (poll tax). The amendment was proposed by Congress to the states on August 27, 1962, and was ratified by the states on January 23, 1964.
