Context
The price for a Democratic win now sits at 94.5%. In the past day, the figure moved 0.0 pts. The market resolves to the party of the victorious candidate in the CA-39 U.S. House race. A candidate's party is defined by their ballot-listed affiliation or, absent that, the party with which they most recently expressed an intent to caucus at the time the election is called. Settlement draws first on a consensus of credible news reports; should those prove inconclusive, the official Federal Election Commission tally becomes the sole source. The only formal trigger is the 2026 midterm election, which takes place on Nov 3, 2026. Until the race is conclusively called—and, if necessary, FEC data confirms the outcome—the contract remains open. No other deadlines, primaries, or polls directly force resolution.
FAQ
How is a candidate’s party determined?
By their ballot-listed affiliation. If no party is listed, it is based on the party they most recently said they would caucus with when the House elections are called.
What happens if the election outcome is disputed?
The market first consults credible news reports. If there is no consensus, it falls back on the official results published by the Federal Election Commission.
When does the market resolve?
After the 2026 midterm elections are conclusively called by the resolution sources. There is no fixed date beyond the election itself.
Does the market consider individual candidates or just the party?
Only the party matters. The contract does not differentiate between nominees or incumbents.
What if a third-party or independent candidate wins?
The market resolves to the party they caucus with. In practice, traders treat all non-Democratic outcomes as a collective loss for the Democratic scenario, which is why those alternatives are priced as remote chances.
