Pima County, Arizona
My vote power
High
Election date
November 3, 2026
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: Above average · 58 out of 100
This district is a good deal smaller than its state, so each vote here carries more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 1,060,490 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(7,378,838 ÷ 1,060,490) ÷ ln(50,000) = 58.96, measured against a statewide vote in AZ (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Above average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Opposes: Government Spending Reduction
Proposition 425 would permanently raise the 1979-80 spending base used to calculate Pima County's state-imposed expenditure limit by $70 million. With population and inflation adjustments, the county estimates its fiscal year 2027-28 limit would rise from about $817.1 million to about $1.43 billion. The measure would allow, but not require, added spending for any local budget purpose using state and existing local revenue.
A YES vote means
A yes vote would permanently raise Pima County's base expenditure limit and allow the county to spend more of its available state and local revenue beginning in fiscal year 2027-28.
A NO vote means
A no vote would leave Pima County's current expenditure-base formula and resulting spending limit unchanged.
