Election date
November 3, 2026 · General election
The Clay County Commissioner Precinct 4 general election in Clay County, Texas is on November 3, 2026. One candidate is on the ballot, Matt Kelton (Republican), so the race is uncontested. One vote here carries below average weight compared with other races.
This seat represents Precinct 4, not the whole district above. We can’t match an address to an area this small, so this race may not be on your ballot.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus whether more candidates are running than there are seats.
Representation: High · 86 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 10,495 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(30,188,424 ÷ 10,495) ÷ ln(50,000) = 86.8, measured against a statewide vote in TX (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Decisiveness: None · only 1 candidate
One candidate is running unopposed, so votes can't change the outcome.
High representation + an uncontested race → My vote power: Below average.
