This market resolves to "Yes" if Maria Cantwell wins the 2024 Washington Senate seat, which is determined by the popular vote as reported by local, state, and federal governments. The resolution criteria are tied to when major news organizations call the race; if one of them calls it early, the market may resolve prematurely. However, if a candidate switches parties after Election Day, their switch won't affect the outcome. Regular senatorial elections take place in 33 states, including Washington's, with US general elections scheduled for November 5, 2024. The resolution source is initially based on Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC calls; if they all call the same candidate, the market resolves to "Yes", otherwise it resolves based on official certification.
