Resolution criteria

This market resolves to the winning candidate certified by official election authorities in the Hennepin County Attorney election held on November 3, 2026.

• If neither listed candidate wins (e.g., a write-in candidate is certified as the winner), the market will resolve to "Other" if available, or N/A if "Other" is not an option.

• Recounts and legal challenges: Resolution will wait until the county canvassing board or a court of competent jurisdiction certifies the final winner.
