Check settlement rules before comparing contracts. Matched outcomes may settle differently. These venues also report end dates more than 48 hours apart; event identity does not mean the contracts close or settle together. These are stored prices; record update times do not certify live quotes. Differences exclude fees and available size.

Known rule differences between venues

Kalshi: media-consensus call, otherwise the party of the Speaker / President pro tempore on Feb 1 of the new Congress. Polymarket: majority of voting seats as elected, independents by caucus.
Tied Senate: Polymarket awards the Vice President's party; Kalshi follows the President pro tempore.
Members switching party after election day change the Kalshi outcome but not Polymarket's.

A shared identity alone does not make a price difference executable.
