Vermont Proposal 3, Right to Collective Bargaining Amendment

November 3, 2026 · Vermont · Statewide

Vote impact: Very high
How do we calculate vote impact?

Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).

Representation: High · 97 out of 100

Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 647,106 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 647,106) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 97.5, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Ballot measure: +1 step

Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.

High representation + a ballot-measure boost → Very high vote impact.
