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 7,816,116 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(7,816,116 ÷ 7,816,116) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in WA (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
Opposes: Civil Rights, Data Privacy
Initiative to the Legislature IL26-638 would require school athletic policies to prohibit students it defines as biologically male from competing in female-only interschool sports. Students choosing to participate in those sports would have to provide a health-care-provider statement verifying biological sex using reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or naturally produced testosterone levels.

A YES vote means
A yes vote creates the sex-based participation restriction and health-care-provider verification requirement for female-only interschool sports.

A no vote leaves current Washington school-athletics eligibility rules unchanged.
