Juneau city and borough, Alaska
My vote power
Below average
Election date
October 6, 2026 · General election
This seat represents District 1, not the whole district above. We can’t match an address to an area this small, so this race may not be on your ballot.
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 · 64 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 31,794 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(735,706 ÷ 31,794) ÷ ln(50,000) = 64.52, measured against a statewide vote in AK (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Decisiveness: None · only 1 candidate
One candidate is running unopposed, so votes can't change the outcome.
Normal representation + an uncontested race → My vote power: Below average.
