Rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate, or, in the case of an independent candidate, the named candidate, that wins the 2027 election for Governor of Mississippi. A candidate will be considered to represent a party if they are the nominee of, or have a ballot-listed affiliation with, that party. A candidate representing either the Democratic or Republican Party will be considered to represent that party, regardless of any additional party affiliations they may have. Candidates already listed as independents will not be considered to represent any party regardless of any party affiliation they may have, or if they become the nominee of a listed party. The determination of the winner includes any runoff, tiebreak, or other relevant procedure under the applicable rules of the relevant jurisdiction. Democratic and Republican party nominees may be named in the contract for the convenience of traders. In the event that any named Democratic or Republican nominee is replaced as the nominee of their respective party prior to election day, the name in the contract will be updated and the market will resolve based on the replacement nominee of the party, except where the replacement nominee is an already-listed independent candidate. The primary resolution sources for this market are the Associated Press, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, and ABC; however, the certified statewide results of the specified election may also be used. This market will resolve once the Associated Press, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, and ABC have all concurrently called the election for the same candidate. If one or more of these news organizations does not make gubernatorial race calls for the 2027 Mississippi gubernatorial election it will be considered to have been struck from this list. If the relevant news organizations do not reach consensus, this market will resolve based on the certified results of the election reported by the state government.
