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 · 75 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 32,648 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(7,378,838 ÷ 32,648) ÷ ln(50,000) = 75.05, measured against a statewide vote in AZ (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: Public Education Quality
Opposes: Government Spending Reduction
Sahuarita Unified School District Proposition 428 would continue a 15% maintenance-and-operations budget override. The first-year override is estimated at $6,419,388, funded by an estimated secondary property-tax rate of $1.31 per $100 of net assessed value. District materials say it supports smaller classes, teacher compensation, career education, counselors, arts, athletics, security, and facilities, with no tax-rate increase.
A YES vote means
The District could continue the 15% maintenance-and-operations override and its property-tax funding for the listed school programs and staffing.
A NO vote means
The District would not receive voter authorization to continue the 15% override, and existing override authority would phase down under state law.
