HARPER V. VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF ELECTION
383 U.S. 663 (1966)
NATURE OF THE CASE: These are suits challenging the constitutionality of Virginia's poll
tax.
FACTS: Harper (P) brought these suits to have Virginia's (D) poll tax declared
unconstitutional. The Virginia Constitution required the State to impose an annual poll tax
of $1.50 on every resident 21 or older. The district court followed the Court's decision in
Breedlove v. Suttles, and dismissed the complaint. P appealed, claiming the right to vote in
state elections without paying a poll tax.
