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 · 69 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 111,845 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(7,816,116 ÷ 111,845) ÷ ln(50,000) = 69.63, measured against a statewide vote in WA (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
Supports: Government Efficiency
Proposition 264 would revise Everett's initiative and referendum process. It would use signatures equal to 10% of votes in the last mayoral election, give petitioners ten days to replace invalid signatures, revise processing deadlines and election timing, and require the voters' guide to link to a city fiscal-impact statement for each proposal.

A YES vote means
The charter would adopt the revised signature threshold, signature-cure period, processing rules, and fiscal-impact link requirement.
A NO vote means
The existing initiative and referendum procedures would remain.
