San Antonio Independent School District Proposition A is a ballot measure in San Antonio Independent School District, Texas on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Approves a higher San Antonio ISD tax rate of about 79 cents per $100 of home value, a 3.17-cent increase, raising about $5.5 million a year for college and career prep and teacher recruiting. Property owners pay more; the district says all four measures add about $2 a month for an average home.
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 · 71 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 307,153 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(30,188,424 ÷ 307,153) ÷ ln(50,000) = 71.2, measured against a statewide vote in TX (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.
