Will Shelley Hughes advance from the 2026 Alaska Governor primary election?

Prediction markets currently give a 11% probability that Will Shelley Hughes advance from the 2026 Alaska Governor primary election?. This contract trades at 11¢ on Polymarket, closing August 18, 2026. The 12¢ price reflects an extremely low probability for Hughes advancing from Alaska's four-candidate primary format, yet the implied yield of 2,175.9% on the Yes side suggests severe mispricing relative to the structural odds of a top-four finish in a likely multi-candidate field.

Analysis

5d ago

The 12¢ price reflects an extremely low probability for Hughes advancing from Alaska's four-candidate primary format, yet the implied yield of 2,175.9% on the Yes side suggests severe mispricing relative to the structural odds of a top-four finish in a likely multi-candidate field. With zero 24-hour volume despite $12.4M open interest and a tight 1¢ spread, liquidity appears concentrated but inactive, raising questions about whether this price discovery is genuine or stale given the market's 123-day runway to the August 2026 resolution.
