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 · 77 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 17,927 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 ÷ 17,927) ÷ ln(50,000) = 77.82, 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
Supports: Public Education Quality
The measure would authorize Saddle Mountain Unified School District No. 90 to adopt an M&O budget up to 15% above its revenue-control limit for fiscal 2027-28 and six later years, with statutory reductions in years six and seven. The full override is estimated at $4,208,500, funded by about $0.41 per $100 of net assessed value.
A YES vote means
The district could collect the 15% M&O override for seven years rather than letting the current override continue its statutory phaseout.
A NO vote means
The proposed override would not begin, and the existing override would keep phasing down under state law.
