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 · 68 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 120,664 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(6,191,814 ÷ 120,664) ÷ ln(50,000) = 68.2, measured against a statewide vote in MO (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
Francis Howell School District would move 12.5 cents of its tax rate from paying off debt to paying for daily operations. The total school tax rate would not change. The shift would free up about $5.5 million a year for things like staff pay, curriculum, and student programs.
A YES vote means
About $5.5 million a year moves to classroom operations with no change to your total tax rate.
A NO vote means
The tax rate stays split as it is now, and the district does not get the extra operating money.
