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 4,611,961 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(4,611,961 ÷ 4,611,961) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in LA (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
Supports: Cost of Living Reduction
Louisiana freezes homestead assessments for qualifying seniors, disabled people and veterans, and military survivors, subject to an income limit. This amendment would raise the constitutional base limit from $100,000 to $150,000 of prior-year federal adjusted gross income in 2027; yearly inflation adjustments would begin in 2028. Local taxing bodies would absorb lost revenue rather than shift it through reassessments or tax-rate changes.
Read the official ballot measure
A YES vote means
The assessment-freeze income limit would rise to $150,000, allowing more otherwise-qualified homeowners to participate.
A NO vote means
The existing $100,000 base income limit and its inflation adjustment would remain in the Constitution.
