As of market creation, these states elected women as governors, and are poised to take office on these dates:

1. Minnesota – Amy Klobuchar: 4 January, 2027

2. Georgia – Keisha Lance Bottoms: 11 January 2027

3. Tennessee – Marsha Blackburn: 16 January 2027

Because of this, the previous market in this series is likely to resolve to "Minnesota." If it does not, then this market will resolve N/A.

This market is concerned with US states a woman has never held the office of governor as of 17 January 2027. The next state to install a woman as its governor for the first time will resolve YES. The title says "install" to refer collectively to all methods a state may use to put someone into office. Winning an election will not suffice, she must take office for this market to resolve to her state. If more than one state meets this market's criteria in legally the same instance, each will split the resolution.

The close date is arbitrary; either I or a moderator will extend the close date as needed until the criteria have been met.

For purposes of this market, "woman" is someone who identifies as a woman at the time of the respective event. If a politician became governor as a man and then identified as transgender after leaving that office, then that would not satisfy the criterion (unless they were to again become governor).
