Description

This event concerns the 2026 Alaska Senate race and whether any candidate from a specified list advances in the election process. The market tracks the progression of multiple candidates through the primary or general election phases of this senatorial contest.

Kalshi

A candidate is considered to have advanced when the official election authority of Alaska certifies or announces their qualification for the runoff, OR when the Associated Press or at least two other major news agencies report that the candidate has qualified, whichever occurs first. Official certification is not required for market resolution. Qualification is determined at the time it is announced; subsequent withdrawals, disqualifications, or changes in eligibility do not affect whether a candidate qualified. If a candidate is officially announced to not qualify, the market immediately resolves to No.
