Kalshi has added My Ballot to its 2026 Midterms Hub, using Ballotpedia’s election data to show visitors the races on their own ballots. Where Kalshi has an active contract, the guide displays its market price alongside the contest.

Kalshi says more than 80% of Midterms Hub visitors do not trade, they come for data. People checking local election information can therefore encounter political markets without searching for a contract.

My Ballot makes the guide more useful to that audience while putting relevant markets in view. It is available on Kalshi’s website and mobile app and will cover every race with an active Kalshi market through Election Day.

My Ballot visitor enters the address, and the system identifies the races and ballot measures relevant to that location, using Ballotpedia’s Sample Ballot Lookup data. Kalshi then checks those contests against its active election markets and displays a market price wherever it finds a match.

Thus, Ballotpedia tells visitors what they can vote on, while Kalshi shows how traders are pricing the outcome. Kalshi’s VoteHub already brings market prices together with polling, campaign-finance data and past results.

My Ballot reorganises that material around the visitor’s own ballot. Instead of starting with a national race and searching for a local connection, visitors can begin with the contests relevant to them and follow through to a market where one exists.

This personalised approach arrives at a different moment for Kalshi’s political markets.

In 2024, politics was the platform’s largest trading category around that year’s presidential election, but it had to fight for it with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in court.
