Measure PRT: City Airports, Harbor, and Water and Power Departments Charter Amendment is a ballot measure in Los Angeles city, California on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Lets the city sign airport and water-and-power leases up to 66 years instead of 50, requires more airport commissioners to live near LAX and Van Nuys, and makes the Port of Los Angeles set aside part of its income for public waterfront projects. No cost to taxpayers.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power 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: Above average · 60 out of 100
This district is a good deal smaller than its state, so each vote here carries more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 3,857,263 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 3,857,263) ÷ ln(50,000) = 60.73, measured against a statewide vote in CA (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Above average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
