Governor prediction markets

Check whether the question concerns election, appointment or holding office.

A governor contract can depend on an election result, a formal appointment or the person occupying the office at a stated time. Those are distinct conditions. Record the jurisdiction and the qualifying event, including any succession or replacement language in the rules.

The relevant state election office is the starting reference for election administration. It does not automatically settle a contract whose question turns on taking office or another legal act.

Read the measurement rules

  • Identify election-result versus office-holder wording.
  • Read succession, replacement and deadline conditions.
  • Use the relevant state’s official records.

Important information

In the United States, certain event contracts are offered through Designated Contract Markets (DCMs) subject to oversight by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Regulatory arrangements and product availability differ between platforms and jurisdictions. CFTC oversight does not constitute approval or endorsement of any particular contract. Event contracts are derivatives products, not sports betting or gambling products, and are not licensed by any state gaming or gambling regulator.

Trading event contracts involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose some or all of the funds you use to trade. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
