How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus the number of candidates.
Representation: Normal · 63 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 612,069 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(10,940,407 ÷ 612,069) ÷ ln(50,000) = 63.32, measured against a statewide vote in GA (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Public Education Quality
Asks Fulton County School District voters to continue ESPLOST, the existing 1 percent sales tax for school buildings and equipment, for five more years; the current authorization ends June 30, 2027. The district plans about $1.3 billion in school construction, renovation, and equipment projects from the renewed tax under its Capital Plan 2032.
A YES vote means
A yes vote continues the 1 percent school sales tax for five years and funds the district's roughly $1.3 billion capital plan.
A NO vote means
A no vote ends the school sales tax when its current authorization expires on June 30, 2027, and the capital plan would need other funding.
