"The Associated Press for nearly two centuries has played an essential role in the American democracy as the most authoritative source for accurate results on election night. The collaboration will expand the reach of AP's trusted elections data, meeting audiences where they are with reliable information about who voters have chosen to lead their country and communities."
"Under the agreement, AP will deliver its real-time vote totals and formal race calls from federal and major state contests. Those figures, widely regarded as the benchmark for election night accuracy, will be displayed directly on Kalshi's site next to the platform's market-based projections."
"Kalshi saw explosive growth during the 2024 presidential race, bringing more than 500 million visits as users tracked moving odds and placed bets on political outcomes. By adding AP's results into the mix, Kalshi plans to give users a side-by-side view of how the vote count is unfolding and how markets are reacting in real time."
