Kalshi
Description
Voters in Alaska's congressional primary will cast their ballots for various candidates, and the final certified results will determine whether Nick Begich achieves a significant share of the votes. The outcome hinges on the total percentage of valid votes he receives compared to all other candidates.
Kalshi
The market resolves based on the certified percentage of the popular vote received by Nick Begich in the Alaska at-large congressional district primary. If the percentage falls within any of the specified ranges (35% to 100%, 40% to 100%, 45% to 100%, 50% to 100%, 55% to 100%, or 60% to 100%), the market resolves to Yes; otherwise, it resolves to No. The percentage is calculated as the total votes Begich receives divided by the total valid votes cast, multiplied by 100 and rounded to the specified decimal places. Resolution depends solely on certified or official results. Write-in votes are included if present in certified results, while invalid, spoiled, or rejected ballots are excluded from both the numerator and denominator. If the election involves multiple rounds of voting, such as ranked-choice voting, the percentage is based on the specified round or the first round if unspecified. Should the election be cancelled, postponed beyond the market expiration, or lack certified results by the expiration date, the market resolves to No. Any recount altering the certified percentage before expiration will use the most recent certified percentage for resolution.
