Section 1. 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 any poll tax or other tax.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

----

This Amendment was the culmination of an effort in Congress beginning in 1939 to eliminate the poll tax as a qualification for voting in federal elections. Property ownership conditions on voting extend back to colonial days, but the poll tax itself began in eleven States of the South after the end of Reconstruction. Only five States still retained the poll tax as of the time of ratification of this Amendment in 1964.
