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: Normal · 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 10,077,761 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 ÷ 10,077,761) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in MI (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Anti-Corruption, Corporate Accountability
Michigan would ban campaign donations from certain regulated utilities, major government contractors, and people or groups tied to them, to the officials who regulate or hire them. It would also require paid-for disclosures on more political ads, including online ads that name a candidate or ballot question.

A YES vote means
Utilities and big government contractors cannot donate to officials who oversee them, and more political ads must say who paid for them.

Current donation and ad disclosure rules stay the same.
