How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus the number of candidates.
Representation: Normal · 62 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 394,432 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 ÷ 394,432) ÷ ln(50,000) = 62.47, measured against a statewide vote in CO (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Public Infrastructure
Opposes: Cost of Living Reduction, Government Spending Reduction
This measure would impose a new 0.129% Aurora sales and use tax, equal to 12.9 cents per $100 purchase, from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2057. Revenue would fund operations, repairs, maintenance, and improvements for community facilities, including parks, libraries, and recreation and community centers. It would also authorize up to $105 million in revenue bonds, with maximum repayment of $204.87 million, secured by the new tax and other legally available funds.
A YES vote means
A YES vote enacts the 0.129% sales and use tax through 2057, authorizes up to $105 million in revenue bonds for community facilities, and lets Aurora retain and spend the full new-tax revenue and investment proceeds.
A NO vote means
A NO vote does not enact the proposed 0.129% sales and use tax or authorize the proposed community-facilities revenue bonds and revenue retention.
