"The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax."—Twenty-fourth Amendment
What was the effect of this amendment? It stopped states from preventing former slaves and poor people from voting. It stopped any state from disallowing women to vote in national elections. It allowed any state to charge a fee to someone who wished to vote. It allowed states to limit who could vote by age, gender, or race.
The Twenty-fourth Amendment (Amendment XXIV) prohibits both Congress and the states from conditioning the right to vote in federal elections on payment of a poll tax or other types of tax. The amendment was proposed by Congress to the states on August 27, 1962, and was ratified by the states on January 23, 1964.
