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, Government Efficiency
Creates an Office of the City Auditor in the Brownsville City Charter through a new Section 21-C. The charter would set how the city auditor is appointed and removed and require the office to run financial, compliance, performance, and investigative audits of every city department, office, agency, city-created entity, corporation, and program, and to advise and report to the city's Audit and Oversight Committee.
A YES vote means
Brownsville has a charter-protected city auditor who must audit city departments and city-created corporations and report to the Audit and Oversight Committee.
A NO vote means
No city auditor position is written into the charter, and audit work continues under whatever arrangements the City Commission chooses.
