Constitutional Amendment Question: Eliminate the Office of Register of Probate (CACR 13) is a ballot measure in New Hampshire on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Removes the elected county register of probate from the state constitution. The job lost nearly all its duties in a 2011 court reorganization and now mainly preserves old records; ending it would save counties the cost of the position. It needs a two-thirds yes vote to pass.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power 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 1,394,868 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(1,394,868 ÷ 1,394,868) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in NH (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.
