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: High · 73 out of 100
This district is a small slice of its state, so each vote here carries much more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 189,177 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(30,188,424 ÷ 189,177) ÷ ln(50,000) = 73.44, measured against a statewide vote in TX (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Anti-Corruption
Expands Brownsville's Audit and Oversight Committee from five members to seven. Under the amendment to Article V, Section 28(A) of the charter, each city commissioner would nominate a member for appointment whenever a seat opens because of a term limit, resignation, death, or other incapacity.
A YES vote means
The committee that oversees city audits grows to seven members, and every commissioner gets to nominate someone as vacancies come up.
A NO vote means
The Audit and Oversight Committee stays at five members under the current appointment rules.
