How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the 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: Average · 50 out of 100
This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 39,287,377 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 ÷ 39,287,377) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in CA (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Healthcare Affordability, Public Education Quality
California would keep higher income-tax rates on high earners after 2031. The tax raises about $5 billion to $15 billion yearly. About 40% funds schools and community colleges. The rest supports other state programs and reserves.

A YES vote means
Higher income-tax rates on the top 2% of California taxpayers would become permanent.

Those higher rates would expire in 2031, as current law provides.
