Limestone County Local Amendment 1 - Senior Property Tax Exemption is a ballot measure in Limestone County, Alabama on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Limestone County homeowners 65 or older who have lived in their home for five years could freeze its taxable value. Eligible owners would still pay property tax, but later home value increases would not raise that part of their bill.

How do we calculate my vote power?

What determines the vote power 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 · 67 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 111,233 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,086,768 ÷ 111,233) ÷ ln(50,000) = 67.67, measured against a statewide vote in AL (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.
