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: High · 70 out of 100
This district is a small slice of its state, so each vote here carries much more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 122,036 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(10,077,761 ÷ 122,036) ÷ ln(50,000) = 70.4, measured against a statewide vote in MI (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Public Infrastructure
Ann Arbor would keep collecting a property tax of up to 0.20 mills to build new sidewalks from 2027 through 2032. This replaces the current tax, which ends after 2026. It would raise about $1.8 million in its first year.
A YES vote means
The new-sidewalk tax continues through 2032 at up to 0.20 mills.
A NO vote means
The new-sidewalk tax ends after 2026.
