Which amendment abolished poll taxes in federal elections?

The 24th Amendment abolished poll taxes in federal elections. Ratified in 1964, it was a significant step toward ensuring that voting was accessible to all citizens, regardless of their economic status. Poll taxes had been used primarily in the Southern states as a way to restrict voting rights, particularly among African Americans and poorer individuals, by imposing a fee that had to be paid in order to vote. The repeal of this requirement helped to promote greater equality in the electoral process, ensuring that financial barriers did not prevent citizens from exercising their right to vote in federal elections. This amendment reflects the broader civil rights movement of the 1960s, which sought to eliminate various forms of discrimination and disenfranchisement in the United States.
