Indianapolis Public School Board District 4

November 3, 2026 · Indianapolis Public Schools, Indiana · School district · general

Vote impact: Below average
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: Low · 0 out of 100

This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 320,504 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(320,504 ÷ 320,504) ÷ ln(320,504 ÷ 340) = 0, comparing unified school districts in IN (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Decisiveness: Unknown
