State House District 22
August 18, 2026 · State House District 22; Alaska · State house district · primary
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: Average · 48 out of 100
This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 18,846 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(20,857 ÷ 18,846) ÷ ln(20,857 ÷ 16,940) = 48.74, comparing state house districts in AK (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Decisiveness: Unknown
No past results for this contest yet.
Average representation + unknown decisiveness → Average vote impact.
