Member of the Assembly, District 23

November 3, 2026 · Assembly District 23; New York · State house district · general

Vote impact: Below average
How do we calculate vote impact?

Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).

Representation: Low · 0 out of 100

This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 147,825 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(147,825 ÷ 147,825) ÷ ln(147,825 ÷ 112,820) = 0, comparing state house districts in NY (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Decisiveness: Unknown

No past results for this contest yet.

Low representation + unknown decisiveness → Below average vote impact.
