The rules clearly define margin of victory as the absolute difference in percentage points between the top two vote-getters based on total valid votes cast. Resolution explicitly relies on official certified results from the state electoral authority, with standard provisions for recounts and an extended fallback deadline of June 30, 2027. Tie-breaking rules and boundary conditions (resolving to the higher bracket if exactly on the line) are thoroughly detailed, leaving little ambiguity for participants.

Resolution rules
The 2026 Oregon gubernatorial election is currently expected to be held on November 3, 2026. This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the specified election. The "margin of victory" is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first-place and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election. For purposes of this market, candidates nominated by the Democratic & Republican Parties will represent the options for "Democrat" and "Republican," respectively. Independent candidates will not represent options for either party. The candidates may be named in the contract for the convenience of traders. In the event that any named candidate is replaced as the nominee of their respective party prior to election day, the name in the contract will be updated and the market will resolve based on the replacement nominee of the party. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher margin bracket. If two or more candidates tie for the most valid votes in this election, and the tie is between two candidates listed, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the candidate whose ballot-listed last name comes first in alphabetical order. If the tie is between a listed candidate and an unlisted candidate, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the listed candidate. If the tie is between two or more unlisted candidates, this market will resolve to "Other." If the listed candidate is represented in this market group as "Republican" or "Democrat" their ballot-listed last name will still be used for tiebreaking. This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official. If the election results are not known definitively by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official. The primary resolution source for this market will be the official results of the 2026 Oregon gubernatorial election as published by the state electoral authority responsible for certifying the results of the election; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Market explained
This market measures whether the Democratic Party candidate wins the 2026 Oregon gubernatorial election by a margin of victory between 9% and 12%.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if the Democratic Party candidate finishes in first place and the margin of victory over the second-place candidate is between 9% and 12%, inclusive of boundary rules where exact ties between brackets resolve to the higher margin bracket. The market resolves to No if the Democratic nominee does not win or wins by a margin outside this bracket. The margin of victory is the absolute difference between the first-place and second-place candidates' vote shares divided by total valid votes. The market resolves to Other if results are not definitively known by June 30, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET, or under specific tie scenarios between unlisted candidates. Resolution is determined by official results published by the state electoral authority, or an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting.
