How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power 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: Average · 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 11,810,293 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(11,810,293 ÷ 11,810,293) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in OH (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.
Ballot Measure
The Ohio constitution would require a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, passport, or military ID, to vote in person, and ID details to vote by mail. You would need one of those IDs to vote; the law could allow another way for people with a religious objection to photos.
A YES vote means
Photo ID rules go into the Ohio constitution. In-person voters must show an approved photo ID, and mail voters must give photo ID details or a signature plus one other ID number.
A NO vote means
No photo ID rule is added to the constitution. Ohio's current voter ID law, which lawmakers can change at any time, stays in place.
