Analysis

This probability indicates that prediction markets assign Kareem Allam approximately a 1-in-4 chance of winning the 2026 Vancouver mayoral election. The estimate reflects a competitive three-way race, with current frontrunner Ken Sim at 39% and Pete Fry at 27%. Allam's position depends on factors including voter dissatisfaction with the incumbent administration, his ability to consolidate support among candidates challenging the status quo, and turnout patterns in Vancouver's diverse wards. The municipal election itself, scheduled for October 2026, will be the primary catalyst resolving this uncertainty. Between now and voting day, campaign momentum, debate performance, endorsements, and any emerging local issues could meaningfully shift probabilities among the leading candidates.

  • Ken Sim holds the incumbent advantage at 39% implied probability, suggesting markets view him as the favorite despite any dissatisfaction with his administration
  • A three-way split between Sim (39%), Fry (27%), and Allam (26%) indicates no dominant consensus outcome, with meaningful uncertainty about vote consolidation
  • Allam's probability depends on whether anti-incumbent voters coalesce behind him versus Fry or fragment across other candidates
  • The October 2026 municipal election date is the hard resolution point; campaign events and polling data before then will be the primary drivers of probability shifts
  • Voter turnout and demographic shifts in specific Vancouver wards could significantly alter the viability of each candidate's path to victory

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
