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
Arizona's constitution already bans the state from favoring or discriminating by race. This adds detail: no required diversity statements for school, jobs or contracts, no public money for school jobs that promote race-based preferences, and no discipline that differs by race. It adds no tax.

A YES vote means
The state could not ask applicants, students, workers or contractors for diversity statements, fund public school jobs promoting race-based preferences, or discipline people differently by race.
A NO vote means
The constitution keeps its current ban on state preferences or discrimination by race, with no added details.
