How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus the number of candidates.
Representation: Normal · 56 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 9,808,667 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 ÷ 9,808,667) ÷ ln(50,000) = 56.41, measured against a statewide vote in CA (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Anti-Corruption
Los Angeles County would give its Ethics Commission and ethics officers more independence from the officials they oversee. The charter would set how they are appointed, who qualifies, how long they serve, and what they must do. It would also keep the county's promise to fund community programs and alternatives to jail.

A YES vote means
The county's ethics watchdogs get more independence and clearer rules, and the community-investment promise stays in the charter.
A NO vote means
The ethics bodies keep their current setup, and the charter does not add the community-investment promise.
