Act 2026-424: Star-Spangled Banner in public K-12 schools
November 3, 2026 · Alabama · Statewide
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: Average · 48 out of 100
This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 5,086,768 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 5,086,768) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 48.54, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Ballot measure: +1 step
Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.
Average representation + a ballot-measure boost → High vote impact.
Ballot Measure
Would amend the Alabama Constitution to require local boards of education to adopt policies requiring each public K-12 school to broadcast or allow the performance of the first stanza of The Star-Spangled Banner at least once each week during school hours.
A YES vote means
A Yes vote would add this weekly Star-Spangled Banner policy requirement for public K-12 schools to the Alabama Constitution.
A NO vote means
A No vote would leave the Alabama Constitution without this statewide weekly Star-Spangled Banner policy requirement for public K-12 schools.
