The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that voting in state elections requires payment of the poll tax, invalidating the main part of Act 19 1964 but keeping a stopgap registration system for this year. The court said Amendment 39 or Amendment 8 do not repeal the poll tax requirement, leaving repeal to a constitutional amendment or public vote.
