Member of the Assembly, District 51
November 3, 2026 · Assembly District 51; New York · State house district · general
How do we calculate vote impact?
Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).
Representation: High · 68 out of 100
Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 122,727 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(147,825 ÷ 122,727) ÷ ln(147,825 ÷ 112,820) = 68.85, comparing state house districts in NY (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Decisiveness: Unknown
