ALLEGHANY COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
November 3, 2026 · Alleghany County Schools, North Carolina · School district · general
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: High · 79 out of 100
Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 11,174 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(1,178,653 ÷ 11,174) ÷ ln(1,178,653 ÷ 3,423) = 79.75, comparing unified school districts in NC (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Decisiveness: Unknown
