Context
Currently, the contract trades at 84.5%. The market settles when the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC all declare the same winner of the 2026 Oregon gubernatorial election. If they never reach a consensus, resolution follows the official state certification. Candidates are categorized by their party nomination: a Democratic or Republican nominee is counted under that party, while independents, even if formerly affiliated, are excluded from those two options. The main event that could shift the probability is the election itself, scheduled for 2026. The market resolves at Nov 3, 2026 or shortly after, depending on when the sources make their call. Any polling shifts, candidate withdrawals, or major news that alter the perceived competitiveness of the race would cause the price to adjust.
FAQ
How does this market determine the winner?
It resolves to the candidate who wins the 2026 Oregon gubernatorial election, as determined by unanimous agreement among the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. If they do not agree, the official certification is used.
What if a candidate runs as an independent but is associated with a party?
The market treats the nominee of each party strictly. An independent candidate, even if aligned with a party, does not fall under the Democrat or Republican options. Only the official party nominee counts.
When will this market pay out?
Payout happens after the election, once the three news sources either agree on the winner or after the official certification if they remain divided. The election is in 2026.
Are there contracts for other candidates?
The description notes that candidates from other parties or independents may be added later. Currently, the main trading is in the Democratic and Republican outcomes.
Does the vote margin matter?
No, the market only cares about who is declared the winner, not the margin of victory. Even a very narrow win for a candidate would resolve in their favor.
