2026 State Ballot Measures: Prediction Market Odds vs. Official Results

Kalshi lists 139 markets on 2026 state ballot measures in 39 states, but only 82 trade enough to give a usable price.

We pull every market daily and show the implied chance of passing where the bid-ask spread is 10¢ or less and at least 100 contracts have traded. After Nov 3 each market is scored against the official result.

Key findings

  • 139 markets, 39 states. 416,666 contracts have traded across all of them.
  • Most are too thin to read. 55 of 137 open markets have a spread wider than 10¢ or fewer than 100 contracts traded; we show their bid and ask but no implied chance.
  • Of the 82 markets with a usable price, 63 are priced to pass (50% or higher) and 19 to fail.
  • Most traded: Iowa Amendment 1: 18,681 contracts, 35% to pass; Idaho Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act (Proposition 1): 17,778 contracts, 10% to pass; Arkansas Right to Keep and Bear Arms Amendment (SJR 11): 14,334 contracts, 94% to pass; Arkansas Water Infrastructure Bond Question (Act 578): 14,068 contracts, 88% to pass; Alabama Amendment 3 (School Pledge and student-led prayer): 12,852 contracts, 96% to pass.
  • Settled before Election Day. Colorado Initiative #175 settled NO on Sep 22, 2026. Kalshi did not publish a reason in the market data; we have not confirmed the measure’s ballot status with the state.

Implied chance of passing from the midpoint of the best bid and ask. “Too thin” means the spread is wider than 10¢ or fewer than 100 contracts have traded, so the price says little. Descriptions are Kalshi’s short labels, not ballot language.

Methodology

  • Markets. Kalshi’s KXSTATEBALLOTMEASURE and KXCABALLOTMEASURES series, from Kalshi’s public API, pulled daily. One row per measure.
  • Usable price. Midpoint of the best bid and ask when the spread is 10¢ or less and at least 100 contracts have traded; otherwise the market is marked too thin.
  • Scoring (after Nov 3). Each measure settled on the election is priced at noon ET on Nov 2 and counted right if the side priced above 50¢ won. Measures that settle before Election Day are listed separately. Results are checked against each state’s certified count from the official source listed in the table.
  • Limits. The list of measures is Kalshi’s, and we have not independently confirmed that every measure is certified for the ballot; most markets trade very little; certified results can take weeks. Nothing here is investment advice. Last run: Oct 16, 2026, 12:02 PM ET.
