What amendment eliminated the poll tax as a voting requirement?

  1. 15th Amendment

  2. 19th Amendment

  3. 24th Amendment

  4. 26th Amendment

The correct answer is: 24th Amendment

The 15th Amendment granted African American men the right to vote, but did not specifically address the issue of poll taxes. The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote, but again, did not address the issue of poll taxes. The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18, but did not address poll taxes. The 24th Amendment, on the other hand, specifically prohibited the use of poll taxes as a requirement for voting. This amendment was crucial in ensuring that all citizens, regardless of income or social status, had equal access to the ballot box.
