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 22,416,077 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(22,416,077 ÷ 22,416,077) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in FL (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: Cost of Living Reduction
Florida would exempt the first $150,000 of a homestead's value from non-school property taxes in 2027 and $250,000 from 2028 onward. New residents would get a $50,000 exemption for five years. The measure also caps yearly assessment increases for nonhomestead property at 5% for non-school taxes and limits county and city property-tax use to core needs. Estimated recurring local revenue loss is $11.86 billion. Approval needs 60%; it starts January 1, 2027.
