City of Yuma Proposition 436: Permanent Base Adjustment
November 3, 2026 · Yuma city, Arizona · City
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: Low · 21 out of 100
This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 100,139 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(1,642,323 ÷ 100,139) ÷ ln(1,642,323 ÷ 4) = 21.64, comparing cities and towns in AZ (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.
Low representation + a ballot-measure boost → Average vote impact.
Ballot Measure
Government Spending Reduction (against), Public Infrastructure (for)
Proposition 436 would permanently increase by $30 million the 1979-80 expenditure base used to calculate the City of Yuma's state Annual Expenditure Limitation. It would let the city spend lawfully collected revenue on existing and planned services and infrastructure without creating a new tax, fee, or revenue source.
A YES vote means
A yes vote permanently increases Yuma's expenditure base by $30 million, allowing the city to spend more revenue it already lawfully collects on services and infrastructure.
A NO vote means
A no vote leaves Yuma's existing expenditure base and state-calculated expenditure limitation unchanged.
