This market resolves YES if Utah Amendment B (Shall the Utah Constitution be amended to require that citizen-proposed laws that increase taxes compared to existing law be approved by at least 60% of voters, instead of a simple majority?) is approved by voters at the November 3, 2026 general election under its official approval rule:

Simple majority of votes cast on the amendment (Utah Const. art. XXIII §1: 'a majority of the electors voting thereon')

Only the November 3, 2026 vote counts; earlier votes on similar proposals do not. YES means voter approval at this election, not that the measure is later implemented.

What the votes mean (official summary):

  • YES: Tax-increasing statewide initiatives would need at least 60% approval.

  • NO: Tax-related initiatives continue to need a simple majority.

Results: resolves on the result certified by Utah Lieutenant Governor / State Board of Canvassers. It may resolve earlier once official returns or the Associated Press show the outcome cannot change and no recount is pending; if a recount or certified correction changes the outcome before resolution, the certified result controls.

No vote: if the measure is removed from the ballot, a court orders its votes not to be counted, or the vote is postponed beyond November 3, 2026, the market resolves N/A.

Later legal challenges: resolution follows voter approval as certified. A court later invalidating, enjoining or delaying the measure does not change the resolution.

Starting probability: 50% is a neutral starting seed, not a forecast.

Market was ~35% when I bet; I've got it around 14%. The newest Noble poll (Oct 26–27, likely voters) has 56% against and 34% for, and the No side has outspent Yes by about ten to one. It only needs a simple majority, but a 22-point gap five days out is a lot to close. https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2026/10/29/poll-shows-voters-are-turning/
