November 3, 2026 · Nevada · Statewide · general

Vote impact: Average
How do we calculate vote impact?

Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).

Representation: Average · 59 out of 100

This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 3,184,612 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 3,184,612) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 59.66, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
