KRAMER V. UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT
395 U.S. 621 (1969)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an action challenging the constitutionality over a state
limitation on the right of certain persons to vote in school district elections.
FACTS: A statute of the New York Education law states that in certain school districts,
eligible voters are limited to residents who own or lease taxable property within the
district, the spouse of one who owns or leases qualifying property or have custody of
children enrolled in local public schools. The effect is that people who are otherwise
eligible to vote in state and federal elections are denied the right to vote in school
district elections. Kramer (P), a bachelor, neither owned nor leased taxable property. He
claimed that the law violates equal protection. P sued in federal court claiming that 2012
denied him equal protection of the laws in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. With one
judge dissenting, a three-judge District Court dismissed P's complaint. P appealed.
