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: Above average · 61 out of 100
This district is a good deal smaller than its state, so each vote here carries more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 510,612 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 ÷ 510,612) ÷ ln(50,000) = 61.53, measured against a statewide vote in MO (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Above average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Housing Affordability, Reduce Wealth Gap
Opposes: Government Spending Reduction
The final measure would let Kansas City borrow up to $100 million for housing affordable to very-low- through moderate-income households. Money could build, renovate, or repair homes and remove blight. Property taxes would repay the bonds. The city says existing debt will expire as these bonds are issued, so it intends no tax-rate increase. The database title’s $75 million is outdated.
