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 10,940,407 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(10,940,407 ÷ 10,940,407) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in GA (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: Election Integrity

Georgia would require every county probate-judge race to be nonpartisan. Candidates would run without party labels rather than as party nominees. The amendment changes how candidates appear and compete in elections; it does not change probate judges' powers, qualifications, or term lengths.

A YES vote means

All Georgia probate judges would be elected in nonpartisan races without party labels.

A NO vote means

The Constitution would not impose a statewide nonpartisan-election requirement on probate-judge races.
