Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $30,753 in open interest, suggesting the 92¢ price may not reflect true market consensus. The asymmetric implied yields—15.8% for Yes versus 2092% for No—indicate severe mispricing, with the No side offering astronomical returns that likely reflect the illiquidity penalty rather than genuine probability. With 201 days to expiration and a modest 2¢ spread, this appears to be a dead market where the Democratic lean (historically strong in KY-03) is priced in but lacks active trading to validate the 92% probability.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the KY-03 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
