AP US Government
Unit 5 – Political Participation
Topic 5.1
If poll taxes were still legal in U.S elections, how might this alter modern voter turnout trends?
Only affluent voters would participate resulting in skewed electoral outcomes favoring wealthy interests only.
Poll taxes could potentially increase voter turnout due to a sense of investment from paying a fee.
It is unlikely that it would impact voter turnout since most people can afford small fees associated with voting.
Voter turnout might decrease, particularly among lower-income individuals who couldn't afford the tax.
