HEALTH CARE SERVICES, SUCH AS HEART AND CANCER SCREENINGS, FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS, FUNDED BY SURTAX

November 3, 2026 · Broward County, Florida · County

Vote impact: Average
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 · 5 out of 100

This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 1,977,129 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(2,738,356 ÷ 1,977,129) ÷ ln(2,738,356 ÷ 7,687) = 5.54, comparing counties in FL (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.
