How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the 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 5,086,768 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,086,768 ÷ 5,086,768) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in AL (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.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Government Efficiency
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.
