Nebraska

My vote power

Election date

November 3, 2026

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 1,978,707 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(1,978,707 ÷ 1,978,707) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in NE (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

Initiative 441 would permit authorized Nebraska racetrack gaming operators to offer sports wagering through Internet platforms to people located in Nebraska. Operators could use up to two platform providers, with in-state servers and commission-approved controls; the commission would issue rules by June 1, 2027.
