No Poll Tax Revenue Loss This Year
Arkansas faces no immediate loss from repealing the poll tax as the current $1 per person tax closed last October and 633 658 people paid last year. Gov Faubus may call a special session to establish a voter registration system and consider a per capita tax to replace lost revenue, with public school funds relying on the amount exceeding $500 000 annually. The legislature may seek to keep the poll tax for state elections by requiring separate ballots for federal and state offices.
