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: Above average · 62 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 1,533,806 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(22,416,077 ÷ 1,533,806) ÷ ln(50,000) = 62.39, measured against a statewide vote in FL (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.

Palm Beach County could borrow up to $280 million through general-obligation bonds, issued in stages and repaid within 20 years with countywide property taxes. Money would modernize parks, recreation facilities, and botanical gardens; expand sports complexes, beach access, and trails; and build regional parks. The county's planning estimate for a $275 million bond was under $5 yearly per $100,000 in taxable value; final cost depends on issuance.
A YES vote means
The county could issue up to $280 million in property-tax-backed bonds for the listed parks and recreation projects.
A NO vote means
The county could not issue these voter-approved bonds or levy their debt-service property taxes for the listed projects.
