Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Twenty-fourth Amendment was ratified in 1964 and it prohibited states from creating poll taxes as a condition for voting. This extended the right to vote to more people by eliminating a financial barrier that prevented some citizens from exercising their right to vote. The amendment did not give women the right to vote or give residents of the District of Columbia electoral votes, and it did not lower the voting age to eighteen (that was accomplished later with the 26th Amendment).
