Alabama

My vote power

November 3, 2026

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 5,086,768 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,086,768 ÷ 5,086,768) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in AL (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

Would amend the Alabama Constitution to require public K-12 schools to conduct the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of each school day and to require local boards of education to allow student-initiated, student-led prayer with student opt-out protections.
