Ann Arbor Proposal D: Amendment to Modify the Terms of Office for Elected Officials

Ann Arbor city, Michigan

My vote power

High

Election date

November 3, 2026

How do we calculate my vote power?

What goes into the rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus the number of candidates.

Representation: High · 70 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 122,036 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(10,077,761 ÷ 122,036) ÷ ln(50,000) = 70.4, measured against a statewide vote in MI (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)

High representation → My vote power: High.
