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 4,028,634 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(4,028,634 ÷ 4,028,634) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in OK (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

Starting in 2027, Oklahoma would lower the maximum yearly increase in taxable property value from 5% to 4% for most real estate and from 3% to 1.75% for homesteads and agricultural land. For homeowners 65 or older, it would replace the current income-qualified value freeze with annual limits from 0% to 1.75%, based on household income compared with the local median.

A YES vote means

The lower property-value growth limits and new income-based senior limits would take effect in 2027.

A NO vote means

Current limits would remain, including the 5% general cap, 3% homestead and farmland cap, and senior freeze.
