CLAY COUNTY REGISTER OF DEEDS
November 3, 2026 · Clay County, North Carolina · County · general
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: High · 79 out of 100
Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 11,610 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(1,178,653 ÷ 11,610) ÷ ln(1,178,653 ÷ 3,423) = 79.09, comparing counties in NC (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Decisiveness: None · only 1 candidate
One candidate is running unopposed, so votes can't change the outcome.
High representation + an uncontested race → Below average vote impact.
