1946 Texas Poll Tax Reminder Poster - Historical Civic Duty Notice #3410019 (License: Personal Use)

This vintage broadside, printed on aged cream paper with bold red and navy typography, was distributed by the Texas State Federation of Labor to ensure voter compliance with poll tax requirements ahead of the 1946 elections. It lists key elected positions-including U.S. Senator, Congressman, Governor, and state judiciary roles-and clarifies exemptions for those over 60 and veterans, while emphasizing annual registration even for exempt individuals. The poster reflects the era’s restrictive voting laws and labor movement’s role in civic engagement.

Used in historical archives, museum exhibits, or educational resources about Jim Crow-era voting restrictions, civil rights history, or mid-20th century Texas politics; serves users researching disenfranchisement, labor advocacy, or election law evolution.
