City Charter Amendment Changing Length of Council Terms from Two Years to Four Years is a ballot measure in Oviedo city, Florida on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Oviedo City Council members would serve four-year terms instead of two-year terms starting with the 2028 election, with a one-time three-year term for those elected in 2027. You would vote on each council seat half as often, and the city says the change has no cost.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power 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 · 79 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 40,599 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 ÷ 40,599) ÷ ln(50,000) = 79.18, measured against a statewide vote in FL (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.
