Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the candidate who wins the Massachusetts gubernatorial election scheduled for November 3, 2026.

Resolution will be based on the official results certified by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If the certified result is delayed or contested, the market may resolve based on a consensus of major national news outlets (such as the Associated Press) once a winner is widely projected.

If the election is postponed, the market will remain open and resolve based on the rescheduled election. If no election is held by December 31, 2026, the market will resolve N/A. Because the answer list is fixed (addAnswersMode is disabled), if a write-in or third-party candidate not listed in the answers wins the election, this market will resolve N/A.
