The last poll tax in the United States was imposed in 1964, primarily affecting voters in Southern states. However, the 24th Amendment, ratified that same year, prohibited the use of poll taxes in federal elections. The Supreme Court later ruled in 1966 that poll taxes were unconstitutional in state elections as well. As a result, poll taxes are no longer used as a means to restrict voting rights.
