Louisiana Prohibit Property Expropriation by Foreign Adversaries Amendment (2026)

November 3, 2026 · Louisiana · Statewide

Vote impact: High
How do we calculate vote impact?

Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).

Representation: Average · 50 out of 100

This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 4,611,961 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 4,611,961) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 50.87, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Ballot measure: +1 step

Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.

Average representation + a ballot-measure boost → High vote impact.
