How does the 24th Amendment apply to Donna’s right to vote in this scenario?

Answer
A
The amendment guarantees her right to vote, since she is 18 years old.
B
The amendment does not apply, since this is a state governor election.
C
The amendment forbids election officials from charging fees or poll taxes.
D
The amendment guarantees the right to vote for all women.

Explanation

The 24th Amendment prohibits poll taxes or other taxes as a condition for voting in federal elections. It does not guarantee the right to vote based on age or sex; age requirements come from other constitutional provisions, and the amendment also applies to federal elections rather than state governor elections. Therefore, the choice stating that it forbids election officials from charging fees or poll taxes is the best answer.
