Oakland County Oakland Schools Intermediate School District Regional Enhancement Millage Proposal
August 4, 2026 · Oakland County, Michigan · County
How do we calculate vote impact?
Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).
Representation: Low · 4 out of 100
This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 1,279,825 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(1,772,259 ÷ 1,279,825) ÷ ln(1,772,259 ÷ 2,133) = 4.84, comparing counties in MI (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Ballot measure: +1 step
Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.
Low representation + a ballot-measure boost → Average vote impact.
