3 prediction markets price this story:
- Republican party — the market puts it at 87%, closing 3 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if a Republican is sworn in as Alaska’s representative for the term starting in 2027. The outcome is No if that does not happen. Readers often mistake the election date for the resolution deadline, but the rule depends on who takes office in 2027.
- At least 30% — the market puts it at 13%, closing 3 Nov 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Bernadette Wilson receives at least 30% of the popular vote in the first round of the 2026 Alaska gubernatorial election. The outcome depends on the certified percentage from that specific election, not on polls or other races. Readers often mistake the deadline for the November election date rather than the certification of the results.
- Ballot Measure 3 — the market puts it at 82%, with $74 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if Ballot Measure 3 passes in Alaska, and No otherwise. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Trump for the actual resolution criteria. The market relies solely on the official election results for Ballot Measure 3, not on political commentary or related events.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
