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 · 67 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 830,235 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 830,235) ÷ ln(50,000) = 67.82, measured against a statewide vote in CA (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 Infrastructure
Opposes: Government Spending Reduction
San Francisco Proposition H would create an inflation-adjusted annual parcel tax from July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2042 to fund Muni service and tax administration. Initial base taxes would be $129 for single-family parcels, $249 for multifamily parcels, and $799 for nonresidential and mixed-use parcels, plus size-based charges. Exemptions and senior relief would apply; multifamily taxes would be capped at $50,000 and other developed-parcel taxes at $400,000.
A YES vote means
The City would impose the new 15-year parcel tax and dedicate its proceeds to Muni service and tax administration under the measure's oversight rules.
A NO vote means
The City would not impose this parcel tax to fund Muni operations.
