Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve according to the winner of the Republican Primary for United States Senator from New Hampshire. If no 2026 New Hampshire Republican Senate Primary takes place, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be the first announcement of the results from the New Hampshire Republican party, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution.

The Republican Party in New Hampshire will hold a primary election in 2026 to select its nominee for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat. The primary winner will face the Democratic nominee in the general election, which historically has been competitive in New Hampshire. The current Polymarket order book implies a 89% probability that a Republican primary will occur and produce a winner, reflecting market confidence that the party will field candidates and complete the selection process as scheduled.
New Hampshire has a consistent history of holding Republican Senate primaries without significant disruption. The state's primary typically occurs in September, and the Republican Party machinery has reliably conducted contested races when seats are open. The high implied probability reflects this institutional reliability rather than certainty about any particular candidate's viability. Comparable open-seat primaries in the state have proceeded without major procedural obstacles, though the actual field of candidates and their relative strength remains uncertain at this distance from the election.
Traders should monitor candidate announcements and formal entry deadlines, which typically occur in the months preceding the September primary. The New Hampshire Secretary of State's office will publish official filing deadlines and candidate lists. Any unexpected developments—such as the incumbent Shaheen vacating her seat earlier than anticipated, significant changes to state election law, or the Republican Party facing organisational challenges—could alter the probability of a primary occurring. Recent reporting on potential candidates and their campaign preparations will provide early signals about the race's competitiveness and legitimacy.
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.
