Proposition 320: School District Budgets

Arizona

My vote power

Above average

Election date

November 3, 2026

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 7,378,838 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(7,378,838 ÷ 7,378,838) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in AZ (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

Large school districts and districts in big counties would have to spend at least 60% of their operating money on classroom teaching. Districts that fall short would lose 25% of their state Classroom Site Fund money each year; the measure adds no tax.

A YES vote means

School districts with 7,500 or more students, or in counties of 500,000 or more people, must spend 60% on classroom teaching or lose part of their state Classroom Site Fund money.

A NO vote means

School districts keep deciding how to split their budgets under current law.
