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 · 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 4,028,634 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(4,028,634 ÷ 4,028,634) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in OK (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
Ballot Measure
This measure would let the Oklahoma Legislature set how much the state reimburses local entities for property-tax revenue lost under the five-year manufacturing exemption. The exemption itself would remain in place, while future laws would establish reimbursement levels and methods for schools, counties, cities and towns, emergency medical services districts, vocational-technical schools, junior colleges, county health departments, and libraries, with the stated goal of preventing one county's reimbursement from harming others. For political-subdivision debt limits, the amount counted for exempt property would become the reimbursement amount set under those future laws. The measure sets no reimbursement rate or dollar amount; the official fiscal analysis says its effects on local revenue, state school funding, and the state reimbursement fund are unknown and depend on later legislation.

A YES vote means
A YES vote would amend the Oklahoma Constitution while keeping the five-year manufacturing property-tax exemption. The Legislature would set reimbursement levels and methods for affected local entities, and those reimbursement amounts would also determine how much exempt property counts toward political-subdivision debt limits; actual financial effects would depend on future laws.
A NO vote means
A NO vote would leave the current constitutional framework in place: the state would continue reimbursing the listed local entities for revenue lost under the five-year manufacturing exemption through the current statutory framework, and the proposed reimbursement-based change to debt-limit valuation would not take effect.
