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 3,392,331 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(3,392,331 ÷ 3,392,331) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in UT (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 amendment (House Joint Resolution 10, 2025) would remove the requirement that proposed constitutional amendments be published in a newspaper in every county, letting the Legislature set the publication method, and require publication for the 60 days before the general election.

A YES vote means

A YES vote lets the Legislature decide how and where proposed amendments are published (for 60 days pre-election) instead of requiring newspaper publication in each county.

A NO vote means

A NO vote keeps the current requirement that amendments be published in a newspaper in each county.
