Oviedo city, Florida

My vote power

High

Election date

November 3, 2026

City Charter Amendment Requiring Supermajority City Council Vote to Approve Certain Annexations is a ballot measure in Oviedo city, Florida on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Adding land to Oviedo from Seminole County's protected Rural Area, as mapped on July 4, 2026, would need yes votes from at least 4 of the 5 City Council members. This makes it harder for the city to take in rural land, and the city says it has no cost.

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 · 79 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 40,599 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(22,416,077 ÷ 40,599) ÷ ln(50,000) = 79.18, measured against a statewide vote in FL (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.
