Yuma County, Arizona

My vote power

High

Election date

November 3, 2026

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 · 66 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 211,741 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(7,378,838 ÷ 211,741) ÷ ln(50,000) = 66.41, measured against a statewide vote in AZ (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

Opposes: Government Spending Reduction

Yuma County's annual expenditure limit starts with its 1979-80 spending and adjusts for population and inflation. Proposition 435 would permanently add $6.2 million to that base beginning in fiscal year 2027-28, increasing how much available revenue the county may spend. It would not raise taxes, create fees, or generate revenue.
