Both contracts point to the 2026 election result, but the wording differs. Shown side by side, not merged.
Settles on the election result: once the Associated Press, Fox News and NBC all call the same winner; otherwise on the official certification.
This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 Texas 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.
Settles on the party representative being sworn in or inaugurated after the 2026 election; may be determined early once a consensus of media organizations projects the winner.
If a representative of the Democratic party is inaugurated as the governor of Texas pursuant to the 2026 election, then the market resolves to Yes. This market is eligible for accelerated determination after a consensus of media organizations project the winner. See full rules for details. This market will close early following the first person to be sworn in as governor pursuant to the 2026 gubernatorial election.
Rule text copied from each platform's public market data on 2026-10-03. Election day is Nov 3, 2026; platform close dates are placeholders and are not shown.
Probabilities are the markets' own prices. For Kalshi we take the midpoint of the best bid and ask; when the spread is wider than 8¢ the market is thin, so we use the best bid instead. For Polymarket we use its own displayed price. A race is marked Checked only after a person has confirmed it is the same election, office, state, date and candidates on both platforms; otherwise it is Auto-matched. Missing data is shown as “—”, never as 0. The two platforms word their settlement rules differently; each race page shows both texts side by side. This page is information only and is not betting, investment or legal advice.
