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 4,028,634 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(4,028,634 ÷ 4,028,634) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in OK (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

This measure would amend the Oklahoma Constitution's 15-member Judicial Nominating Commission. It would use current congressional districts for six gubernatorial and six Oklahoma Bar Association seats; remove attorney, immediate-family-attorney, political-party, and self-succession restrictions; and revise term and vacancy provisions. The enrolled amendment specifies six-year terms for gubernatorial and Bar members and two-year terms for three at-large members selected through three different methods, but the certified final ballot title describes those term lengths and at-large selections differently.

A YES vote means

A YES vote adopts the enrolled constitutional amendment changing Judicial Nominating Commission eligibility, district references, terms, succession, vacancies, and related selection rules. The enrolled text controls the stated effects summarized here; its term and at-large-selection provisions conflict with descriptions in the certified final ballot title.

A NO vote means

A NO vote rejects the amendment and leaves the existing constitutional provisions governing the Judicial Nominating Commission unchanged.
