Context
The market now sits at 68.5%. Over the period, the price has ranged from 64.5% to 70.5%. The market settles once the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC all project the same winner for the Nebraska Senate race. If the three news organizations fail to agree before certification, the official certification resolves the contract. The market includes any run-off that determines the winner. The primary triggers for resolution are the convergence of calls from the three designated sources or, absent that, the official certification of the result. No other formal events or deadlines are specified in the market rules. The listed end date is Nov 3, 2026.
