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: High · 74 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 55,058 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(11,810,293 ÷ 55,058) ÷ ln(50,000) = 74.81, measured against a statewide vote in OH (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Public Education Quality
Sylvania City School District proposes a 1% earned-income tax for ongoing educational and operating expenses together with a 1.7-mill property-tax reduction. The earned-income tax would apply to wages and net self-employment income, not retirement or investment income.
A YES vote means
The district could collect the 1% earned-income tax, while the paired 1.7-mill property-tax reduction would lower property taxes.
A NO vote means
The earned-income tax and paired property-tax reduction would not take effect under this proposal.
