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 1,934,262 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(1,934,262 ÷ 1,934,262) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in ID (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: Government Efficiency
Idaho House Joint Resolution 6 would designate English as the state's official language and require English in public proceedings, documents, instruction, and other public acts of state and local public institutions, except when federal law requires use of another language.
Read the official ballot measure
A YES vote means
English would become Idaho's constitutional official language, with the stated English-use requirement and federal-law exception.
A NO vote means
The constitution would remain unchanged; state statute, rather than the constitution, would continue to designate English as the official language.
