The 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was enacted in 1964 and is aimed at prohibiting the use of poll taxes as a requirement for voting in federal elections. A poll tax is a fee that citizens had to pay in order to cast their vote. By including this amendment, the U.S. government aimed to eliminate the financial barrier that prevented many poor individuals, regardless of their race, from exercising their right to vote. Therefore, the amendment was primarily created to ensure suffrage to poor people of all races.
