Kalshi
This event tracks how decisively a candidate wins a primary election by measuring the difference in votes between the winner and the runner-up. The outcome depends on whether the vote difference falls within specific percentage ranges, reflecting either a close contest or a landslide victory.
The event resolves based on the margin of victory for either Luke Bronin or John Larson in the 2026 CT-01 Democratic primary. The margin is calculated as the difference in vote share between the candidate and the runner-up. If the candidate wins, the margin is positive; if they lose, it is negative; and it is zero in case of a tie for first place. Each market corresponds to a specific margin range, from 0% to 100%, with ranges inclusive of the lower bound and exclusive of the upper bound. No rounding is applied to the margin percentages. Votes for a candidate running under multiple parties or listings are summed to determine their total vote share. The market resolves to Yes if the actual margin falls within the specified range for the respective candidate.

This market resolves around Aug 11, 2027, with the outcome confirmed once the official primary results are verified against credible public sources. The final margin of victory will be calculated from certified election returns, closing the market based on the actual vote tallies reported after the election night counts are finalized.
Key events such as candidate debates, endorsements, fundraising announcements, and any emerging scandals can shift this market. Unexpected developments—whether policy gaffes, voter turnout surprises, or last-minute campaign surges—often prompt rapid repricing. Traders will also watch polling trends in the weeks leading up to the primary, as consistent moves in voter preferences typically drive market adjustments.
