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 261 would amend Everett Charter Sections 2.2 and 4.10. It would require candidates for district-based council seats to have been registered voters and residents of the applicable district for the year preceding election, define residency by state law, require every elected city official to take the charter oath, and prohibit the mayor or a councilmember from simultaneously holding another elected public office.
Read the official ballot measure
A YES vote means
The charter would adopt the revised district-residency rule, state-law residency definition, elected-official oath requirement, and ban on simultaneously holding another elected public office.
A NO vote means
The existing charter provisions would remain unchanged.
