How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.
Representation: High · 67 out of 100
This district is a small slice of its state, so each vote here carries much more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 830,235 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 830,235) ÷ ln(50,000) = 67.82, measured against a statewide vote in CA (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Government Spending Reduction
The city would merge or remove some boards and change how its offices work. Closing boards could save up to $450,000 a year without a new tax, though other costs may arise.

A YES vote means
Merge or remove some city boards, let supervisors change others without another ballot vote, and change city work rules. Closing boards could save taxpayer money; the measure adds no tax.
A NO vote means
Keep current city boards and work rules. The city would not get the estimated savings from closing those boards; taxes would not change.
