Resolution criteria on PolyGram: Nevada voters are scheduled to vote in the November 3, 2026 midterm elections on a constitutional amendment (Question 6) which, if passed, would enshrine the right to abortion in the Nevada Constitution. Under Nevada's constitution, citizen-initiated constitutional amendments must be approved in two successive general elections to take effect. The 2026 vote is the required second and final ratification. This market will resolve to "Yes" if Nevada Question 6, the Right to Abortion Initiative, passes according to Nevada election procedure.

Market outcomes

Will the Nevada abortion protection amendment pass? 96% YES4% NO

Market context

Nevada voters will cast ballots on 3 November 2026 on Question 6, a constitutional amendment that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. This represents the second and final ratification required under Nevada's two-election procedure for citizen-initiated amendments. The first vote occurred in 2024, when the measure secured approximately 60% support. For the amendment to take effect, it must pass again in 2026, though Nevada law does not require the same threshold in the second election—a simple majority suffices.

The 97% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects the historical strength of abortion-rights measures in western swing states and Nevada's demonstrated support two years prior. Since the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, abortion protection amendments have passed in every state where they appeared on ballots, including conservative-leaning Kansas and Ohio. Nevada's Democratic lean and the 2024 precedent establish a high baseline expectation, though midterm dynamics and voter composition shifts between presidential and non-presidential cycles introduce material uncertainty that the market prices at roughly 3%.

Key catalysts include shifts in national abortion policy, particularly any federal legislation or executive actions that might alter the political salience of the issue by November 2026. State-level developments—including potential changes to Nevada's existing abortion regulations or high-profile cases—could influence voter turnout and sentiment. The composition of Nevada's electorate in a midterm election, typically lower than presidential cycles, remains a significant variable; reduced turnout historically favours initiatives with strong baseline support but introduces execution risk around mobilisation.

How this market resolves

Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.

How to trade this market step by step

The mechanics for trading "Will the Nevada abortion protection amendment pass?" are the same as any other PolyGram political event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.

  1. Sign in on polygram.ink with your email — no full KYC under $1,500 lifetime trading volume.
  2. Deposit USDC on Polygon (lowest fees, ~$0.01 per transaction) or Ethereum. Funds credit after 12 confirmations.
  3. Pick a side. Buy YES if you believe the event will happen; buy NO if you think it won't. The current YES price reflects the market's collective probability.
  4. Size your position. If you stake 100 USDC at 96% YES, you'll receive shares that pay $104 if YES resolves true — a 4% gross return. If NO resolves, your shares are worth $0.
  5. Set risk controls (optional). Stop-loss, take-profit, and limit-order types all supported. Use the trade ticket's slippage box to cap your maximum entry price.
  6. Wait for resolution. When the event resolves on-chain via the UMA optimistic oracle, the winning side settles to 100¢ automatically and USDC hits your balance within seconds. Withdrawable to any wallet you control.

How active is this market?

$330 in lifetime turnover and $143 of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for politics contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.

The market has been open for 2 months — the price has had time to stabilise as new information arrived.

Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.

Key terms

YES / NO share
A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
CLOB
Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.
Liquidity
USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
UMA optimistic oracle
The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.
Slippage
The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.
Conditional token
ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Risk and regulatory note

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
