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: High · 74 out of 100
This district is a small slice of its state, so each vote here carries much more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 58,052 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(11,810,293 ÷ 58,052) ÷ ln(50,000) = 74.56, measured against a statewide vote in OH (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Public Education Quality
Pickerington Local School District's proposal would increase the school-district income tax by 0.75% on the school-district income of individuals for 10 years, for current expenses. The district says the revenue would help avoid or reduce further cuts affecting electives, College Credit Plus, athletics, transportation, band and orchestra, world languages, academic support, and school budgets.
