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: Average · 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 647,106 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(647,106 ÷ 647,106) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in VT (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)

Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.

Ballot Measure

Supports: Reduce Wealth Gap

A legislatively referred amendment (Proposal 3) to the Vermont Constitution that would guarantee employees the right to organize or join a labor organization for the purpose of collective bargaining, and would prohibit laws that ban agreements requiring union membership as a condition of employment.

More about this measure

A YES vote means

A 'yes' vote supports amending the Vermont Constitution to establish a right to collective bargaining and to bar so-called 'right-to-work' laws.

A NO vote means

A 'no' vote opposes the amendment, leaving the Vermont Constitution unchanged on collective bargaining.
