City of San Antonio Proposition A: Pre-K 4 SA Sales Tax 20-Year Reauthorization is a ballot measure in San Antonio city, Texas on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Renews the one-eighth-cent city sales tax that pays for Pre-K 4 SA, the city's free pre-kindergarten program, for 20 more years after the current approval ends in 2029. Shoppers keep paying the same sales tax they pay now; it is not a new tax or a rate increase.
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 · 63 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 1,479,835 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(30,188,424 ÷ 1,479,835) ÷ ln(50,000) = 63.94, measured against a statewide vote in TX (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.

A YES vote means
Pre-K 4 SA keeps its dedicated one-eighth-cent sales tax through about 2049, and the program can expand toddler care and Pre-K 3 sites.
A NO vote means
The dedicated sales tax ends in 2029 unless voters approve it again later, and Pre-K 4 SA would need other city money to continue.
