City of Yuma Proposition 437: Signatures on Nomination Petitions (Charter Amendment)
November 3, 2026 · Yuma city, Arizona · City
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: Low · 21 out of 100
This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 100,139 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(1,642,323 ÷ 100,139) ÷ ln(1,642,323 ÷ 4) = 21.64, comparing cities and towns in AZ (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Ballot measure: +1 step
Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.
Low representation + a ballot-measure boost → Average vote impact.
Ballot Measure
Proposition 437 would amend Article IV, Section 6 of the Yuma City Charter. The required nomination-petition signatures would remain between 3% and 5% of ballots cast, but the denominator would change from the preceding general municipal election to the preceding primary municipal election.
A YES vote means
A yes vote changes the charter so candidate nomination-petition signature requirements are calculated from ballots cast in the preceding primary municipal election.
A NO vote means
A no vote keeps the charter's current calculation based on ballots cast in the preceding general municipal election.
