Kansas Senate District 24
August 4, 2026 · State Senate District 24; Kansas · State senate district · primary
How do we calculate vote impact?
Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).
Representation: High · 77 out of 100
Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 72,113 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(78,556 ÷ 72,113) ÷ ln(78,556 ÷ 70,336) = 77.43, comparing state senate districts in KS (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Decisiveness: None · only 1 candidate
One candidate is running unopposed, so votes can't change the outcome.
High representation + an uncontested race → Below average vote impact.
