Show full assessmentShow less

This market has clear and objective resolution criteria. It identifies the target election and explicitly defines party affiliation based on official party nomination, clarifying that independent candidates do not count toward the major party options. Resolution relies on three specified major media networks (the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC) reaching consensus on the winner, with a clear fallback to the state's official election certification if unanimous media calls do not occur.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 Minnesota gubernatorial election. A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date. Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the 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. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.
