The one trap

Official certified results can come weeks after news outlets call the race, so other venues may settle later or differently.

See all fine print
  • If the Republican Party and the Democratic Party hold the same number of governor seats as a result of the 2026 midterm elections, the market settles as “Tie”.
  • If a required runoff for any such election could change the market’s outcome, the market will remain open until that runoff is conclusively called by this market’s resolution sources.
