My vote power

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 39,287,377 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 39,287,377) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in CA (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: Government Efficiency, Government Spending Reduction

California would save more money for budget emergencies. The main rainy-day fund could grow to 20% of state tax revenue, up from 10%. Extra debt payments would continue through 2040 instead of ending in 2030. Deposits would not count toward the state spending limit until withdrawn.

A YES vote means

California would build larger budget reserves and continue extra debt payments through 2040.

A NO vote means

The rainy-day fund cap would stay at 10%. Required extra debt payments would still end in 2030.
