Act 2026-341: Lieutenant Governor vacancy and legislative expenses
November 3, 2026 · Alabama · Statewide
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 5,086,768 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 5,086,768) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 48.54, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Ballot measure: +1 step
Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.
Average representation + a ballot-measure boost → High vote impact.
Ballot Measure
Government Efficiency (for)
Would amend the Alabama Constitution to make three changes: a vacant Lieutenant Governor seat would be filled by an election in certain circumstances; the Legislature would set the salaries of the Lieutenant Governor and legislative officers; and legislative travel spending would need approval from legislative officers.
A YES vote means
A yes vote makes all three changes: an election to fill a Lieutenant Governor vacancy in certain circumstances, Legislature-set salaries for the Lieutenant Governor and legislative officers, and required sign-off on legislative travel spending.
A NO vote means
A no vote keeps the constitution as it is: no required vacancy election, current salary rules, and no travel-spending approval requirement.
