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 · 50 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 4,611,961 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(4,611,961 ÷ 4,611,961) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in LA (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
Ballot Measure
This amendment (House Bill 225, 2026 Regular Session) would change Louisiana's gubernatorial term limit from two consecutive terms to a lifetime maximum of two terms, permanently barring anyone who has served more than one and one-half terms as governor from being elected to the office again.
Read the official ballot measure
A YES vote means
A YES vote establishes a lifetime limit of two terms for governor; a person who has served more than one and one-half terms could never again be elected governor.
A NO vote means
A NO vote keeps the current limit of two consecutive terms, under which a former two-term governor may run again after sitting out at least one term.
