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 6,191,814 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(6,191,814 ÷ 6,191,814) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in MO (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: Environment and Public Health

Constitutional Amendment 1 asks whether Missouri should continue for another 10 years the existing one-tenth-of-one-percent state sales and use tax that funds soil and water conservation programs and the state park system.

A YES vote means

A yes vote continues the existing one-tenth-cent sales/use tax for 10 more years to fund soil and water conservation and state parks.
