This seat represents District 7, 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: Above average · 60 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 413,794 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(4,028,634 ÷ 413,794) ÷ ln(50,000) = 60.52, measured against a statewide vote in OK (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
