No Poll Tax Fight Shapes 1964 Elections
Baytown voters face a Friday deadline to pay a $1.50 poll tax or risk losing the right to vote in 1964 elections. Receipts may serve as registration for federal elections, otherwise a certificate from the Harris County tax assessor is required. Deputy collectors across Baytown, Highlands, La Porte and Crosby will handle payments, with mail-in applications due by Friday midnight. Local races include sheriff, judges, commissioners, and city council seats in Baytown.
