The non-partisan primary election for Governor of California is scheduled to take place on June 2, 2026. The top two candidates in this election by number of votes won will advance to the general election for Governor of California. This market will resolve to “Yes” If the listed candidate advances from the primary to the general election for Governor of California. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”. If no 2026 California gubernatorial primary takes place by December 31, 2026, this market will resolve to “No.” This market will resolve based on the results of the primary election for Governor of California as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the government of California, specifically the Office of the Secretary of State.In California's nonpartisan top-two primary for governor on June 2, recent late-March polls drive trader focus on a fragmented Democratic field boosting Republicans Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco into leads of 16-17%. Berkeley IGS (March 9-14) shows Hilton at 17% and Bianco at 16%, while Democratic-sponsored Evitarus (March 12-17) has Hilton at 16% and Bianco at 14%, with Democrats Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer tied near 10-13% amid 24-25% undecideds. Eight Democrats splitting votes risks a rare Republican-Republican general matchup; party calls for consolidation persist without dropouts. Mail ballots and outreach efforts loom as key catalysts.
