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: Above average · 62 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 377,150 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,862,189 ÷ 377,150) ÷ ln(50,000) = 62.68, measured against a statewide vote in CO (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.
