Known rule differences between venues
- Kalshi settles on the party of the officeholder sworn in/inaugurated for the new term; Polymarket settles on the party of the called winner. They differ if the winner dies, withdraws or is not seated before the term starts.
- Independents: Polymarket assigns a non-affiliated winner by stated caucus (House) or excludes independents from party options (Senate/Governor); Kalshi requires party membership.
- Kalshi may close early on a media-consensus projection; Polymarket resolves on consensus calls with certification as the fallback.
A shared identity alone does not make a price difference executable.
