Winning party in Georgia's gubernatorial election (2026)
Market Rules
This set of markets predicts which political party will win the 2026 gubernatorial election in the state of Georgia, scheduled for November 3, 2026. The market corresponding to the party of the candidate officially elected Governor of Georgia will resolve to "Yes". A candidate will be considered affiliated with a political party based on the official party designation under which they appear on the ballot.
Georgia requires a majority to win a statewide office. If no candidate receives more than 50% of valid votes in the general election, a runoff between the top two candidates is held 28 days later, per Georgia state law. The candidate who wins that runoff (or, if no runoff is required, the general-election majority winner) is declared the winner.
The Primary Designated Source (PDS) will be the Associated Press race call. Resolution is triggered as soon as the AP has called the race and at least two of the following also call the same winner: Reuters, Fox News, The New York Times.
In the case of a major discrepancy between these sources that persists beyond seven days after election day, resolution will instead be based on the official certified election results published by the State of Georgia (e.g., the Georgia Secretary of State), the Secondary Confirmation Mechanism (SCM). Resolution will be based on the officially certified winner, not projections, concession speeches, or media calls. If a fair determination cannot be made, Futuur may cancel the event with a public explanation.
