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 · 77 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 20,080 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 ÷ 20,080) ÷ ln(50,000) = 77.3, measured against a statewide vote in AZ (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: Public Education Quality
Wickenburg Unified School District's measure would renew its existing maintenance-and-operations budget override. The district says the override compensates for state and federal funding shortages and supports teacher and support-staff salaries and benefits.
A YES vote means
The district's existing maintenance-and-operations override funding would continue under the renewal.
A NO vote means
The override would not be renewed and would phase out under Arizona law, reducing funds available for staffing and school operations.
