How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the 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 the number of candidates.
Representation: High · 68 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 106,433 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,862,189 ÷ 106,433) ÷ ln(50,000) = 68.53, measured against a statewide vote in CO (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Public Infrastructure
Boulder would borrow up to $400 million to build and fix recreation centers, fire stations, 911 and public safety facilities, and other city buildings. Paying it back could cost up to $650 million over time. Property taxes would go up by as much as $32.5 million a year until the debt is paid off.
