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: High · 73 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 68,892 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 ÷ 68,892) ÷ ln(50,000) = 73.42, measured against a statewide vote in GA (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Spalding County would add a 1% sales tax on most purchases in the county. The money would be used to lower property tax bills for homeowners through the county's property-tax relief program.
A YES vote means
Shoppers in Spalding County pay 1% more in sales tax, and homeowners get property-tax relief from that money.
A NO vote means
Sales tax stays the same, and the property-tax relief program does not happen.
