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 · 73 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 57,950 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(10,077,761 ÷ 57,950) ÷ ln(50,000) = 73.84, measured against a statewide vote in MI (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation → My vote power: High.

A YES vote means
A YES vote adopts the charter amendment and renews the 1.00 mill levy for five years for refuse collection, disposal, and curbside recycling.
A NO vote means
A NO vote rejects the charter amendment, so the proposed five-year renewal millage for refuse collection, disposal, and curbside recycling would not be authorized by this measure.
