Will Shenna Bellows win the 2026 Maine Governor Democratic primary election?

Bellows is priced at an extreme 2¢ with a staggering 22,261% implied yield on the Yes side, suggesting severe underpricing or minimal market confidence in her candidacy despite $8.9M in open interest. The market has collapsed from 5¢ seven days ago—a 60% decline—indicating either new negative information about her campaign or broader repositioning by sophisticated traders, though the anemic $10 daily volume raises questions about whether this price reflects genuine consensus or illiquidity-driven distortion. With 53 days to the June 9 primary and a 32 Cliff Risk Index, this appears to be a thin market where large positions could easily move the price, making the extreme yield potentially unreliable as a true probability estimate.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the winner of the Democratic Primary for Governor of Maine, scheduled to take place on June 9, 2026. Resolution will be based on the overall winner of the primary, including any potential second round or run-off. If no 2026 Maine Gubernatorial Democratic Primary takes place, this market will resolve to “Other.” The resolution source for this market will be the first official announcement of the results from the Maine Democratic Party; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
