Advisory Question: Official State Gun of Idaho (House Bill 932) is a ballot measure in Idaho on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Nonbinding advisory vote asking which of six historic firearms should be Idaho's official state gun, such as the Winchester 1894, Colt Peacemaker, or M1 Garand. It changes no law and adds no tax; lawmakers would need a separate bill to adopt the winner.
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: Average · 50 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 1,934,262 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(1,934,262 ÷ 1,934,262) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in ID (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.
