This event tracks the vote share that Adriano Espaillat receives in the 2026 New York 13th Congressional District Democratic primary election. His performance will be measured against several threshold benchmarks to determine outcomes across multiple related markets.
Resolution is based on the certified percentage of popular votes received by the candidate, calculated as (total votes received ÷ total valid votes cast) × 100. Valid votes include write-in votes appearing in certified results; invalid, spoiled, or rejected ballots are excluded from both numerator and denominator. Resolution uses certified/official results only, not preliminary counts. If ranked choice voting or multiple rounds occur, the percentage is based on the first round unless otherwise specified. If the election is cancelled, postponed beyond market expiration, or no certified results are available by expiration, all markets resolve to No. If a recount changes the certified percentage before expiration, the most recent certified percentage is used for resolution.
Prediction market odds and traditional polling often diverge because they measure different things. Polls capture voter preference at a single moment, while this market aggregates trader expectations about the final outcome, incorporating polling data, campaign momentum, endorsements, and other signals. Traders have financial incentive to forecast accurately, which can lead markets to move ahead of or diverge from polls. Comparing current odds on this market to available polling for the NY-13 Democratic primary can reveal whether traders expect conditions to shift between now and the primary. Both sources provide valuable but distinct perspectives on Espaillat's likely vote share.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where traders buy and sell binary shares representing yes or no outcomes. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The current odds reflect the consensus price at which traders are willing to transact. If you believe Espaillat will exceed 55% of the vote, you buy yes shares; if you expect him to fall short, you buy no shares. The price of each share moves between 0 and 100 cents based on supply and demand. As new information emerges—polling updates, candidate announcements, or campaign developments—traders adjust their positions, causing the market price to shift accordingly.
This market resolves around Jun 23, 2027, following the 2026 NY-13 Democratic primary election. The outcome is determined by Adriano Espaillat's final vote share in that primary, verified against credible public sources once results are certified. If he receives at least 55% of the popular vote cast in the race, the yes outcome wins; if he receives less than 55%, the no outcome wins. Traders holding the winning shares receive their payout once the result is confirmed and the market officially settles.
Several catalysts could shift odds on this market. New polling data showing Espaillat's support rising or falling would likely trigger immediate repricing. Endorsements from prominent Democratic figures or labor unions could boost his perceived vote share. Changes in the primary field—such as other candidates entering or withdrawing—would alter the competitive landscape and trader expectations. Campaign spending reports and media coverage of the race may influence sentiment. Demographic shifts or redistricting effects specific to NY-13 could also matter. Major national political developments affecting Democratic primary dynamics might indirectly influence how traders assess his performance in this particular race.
