Nevada Governor election: None of These Candidates vote share
Short Answer
The "None of These Candidates" vote share in the Nevada Governor election is likely to exceed 1.0%, supported by preliminary election results indicating an approximate 1.5% vote share. The market prices this outcome at 94%.
1. Market Behavior & Drivers
The market's movement was driven entirely by the release of vote counts following the November 3, 2026 Nevada Governor election. The price increased from 1.0% to 7.0% as initial results showed the "None of These Candidates" option meeting the likely threshold for a "YES" resolution.
Specifically, reports from AP/Fox5Vegas and The Nevada Independent indicated that "None of These Candidates" had secured between 1.0% and 1.5% of the total vote. As the market ticker (AL1.0) suggests a resolution condition of at least a 1.0% vote share, this news prompted the upward repricing.
The price stalled at a low 7.0%, well short of the near-certainty implied by the reported results. This level suggests the market retained significant doubts about the final certified vote count remaining at or above the 1.0% threshold. The low total volume of 3,658 contracts traded may also indicate an illiquid market that failed to fully incorporate the public election data.
- At least 1.0% vote share is highly probable, based on preliminary election results.
- At least 2.5% remains a possibility, aligning with the 2.31% historical vote share average.

Current Context
None of These Candidates received 1.0-1.5% in the 2026 Nevada Governor election. The option garnered 15,931 votes (1.5%) according to AP/Fox5Vegas with 94.6% of votes reported, and 16,009 votes (1%) as reported by the Nevada Secretary of State via The Nevada Independent [1][2][3]. Democrat Aaron Ford won the general election held on November 3, 2026, securing 561,367 votes (51.7%) [1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. He defeated incumbent Republican Governor Joe Lombardo, who received 477,556 votes (44.0%), and independent candidate Danielle Ford, who obtained 31,457 votes (2.9%) [1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The Associated Press called the race for Ford at 4:46 AM ET on November 4, 2026 [1][3][7]. Aaron Ford is Nevada's first Black governor and the first Black governor of a state west of the Mississippi River [4][5][9][10].
Nevada's unique 'None of These Candidates' option has a non-binding impact. It appears on ballots for statewide and presidential races due to a 1975 law (NRS 293.269) [11][12][13][14]. Even if NOTC receives the most votes, the highest-polling named candidate still wins [11][12][13][14]. In previous Nevada gubernatorial elections, NOTC vote shares included 1.46% (14,866 votes) in 2022, 1.94% (18,865 votes) in 2018, 2.88% (15,751 votes) in 2014, 1.71% (12,231 votes) in 2010, 3.56% (20,699 votes) in 2006, and 4.70% (23,674 votes) in 2002 [14][15][16]. Notably, NOTC won pluralities in some primaries, such as the 2014 Democratic gubernatorial primary with 30% of the vote and the 1976 Republican primary for Nevada's At-large congressional district with 16,097 votes [11][13][14].
Pre-election forecasts and campaign strategies shaped the gubernatorial contest. The Cook Political Report rated the race as a "toss-up" [17]. UNLV political scientist Rebecca Gill observed that Ford, as the highest-ranking Democrat elected statewide, held a structural advantage [18]. Prediction markets showed shifting odds; Kalshi priced the Republican side near 63 cents on August 14, 2026, while electionbettingodds.com gave Ford a 76.1% chance of winning by November 3, 2026 [19][20][21]. A total of $5.1 million was traded on Kalshi and $1.5 million on Polymarket for the Nevada governor winner market [19][20][21]. Ford's campaign focused on affordability, connecting Nevada's economic issues like gas prices above $5 per gallon and declining tourism to Lombardo and the "Lombardo-Trump economy" [5][10][22][23]. Democrats criticized Trump's 2025 tax cuts, spending bill, and tariffs for negatively affecting Nevada's tourism-dependent economy [5][10][22][23]. The race demonstrated a 10.82-point shift toward Democrats compared to the 2024 presidential election, according to NBC News Decision Desk data [6][8]. ABC News characterized the race as a bellwether for GOP governors leading into 2028 [24]. The new governor will commence a four-year term and is expected to be sworn in during early January 2027 [10][25].

3. Significant Price Movements
Notable price changes detected in the chart, along with research into what caused each movement.
Outcome: At least 1.0%
📈 November 06, 2026: 77.0pp spike
Price increased from 17.0% to 94.0%
What happened: The claimed 77.0 percentage point spike in the prediction market for "None of These Candidates vote share" in the 2026 Nevada Governor election is not supported by the provided data. The 'None of These Candidates' option received 1.5% of the total votes [1][2][3][4], representing only a 0.04 percentage point increase from the 1.46% received in the 2022 election [5][6][7][8]. No source documents a 77.0pp spike in this metric, rendering it impossible to identify a primary driver for a movement that did not occur [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Consequently, social media activity, traditional news, or market structure factors cannot be attributed as drivers for this unsubstantiated price movement.
📉 November 04, 2026: 75.0pp drop
Price decreased from 81.0% to 6.0%
What happened: The reported 75.0 percentage point drop in the prediction market price for "Nevada Governor election: None of These Candidates vote share? At least 1.0%" on November 04, 2026, is inconsistent with the confirmed election results. The 'None of These Candidates' option actually received 1.5% of the total vote, which exceeds the 1.0% threshold specified in the market [1]. As the Associated Press called the race at 4:46 AM ET on November 4, 2026 [3], a rational prediction market for an outcome that was confirmed to have occurred would typically see its price rise towards settlement, not experience a significant drop. Therefore, the provided research does not support identifying a primary driver for the stated price movement, and social media was not a primary driver, as no relevant activity appears to explain this contradictory movement.
📈 November 02, 2026: 88.0pp spike
Price increased from 1.0% to 89.0%
What happened: The 88.0 percentage point spike for the "Nevada Governor election: None of These Candidates vote share? At least 1.0%" market occurred as the price reached 99% prior to the November 03, 2026 election [9]. While President Donald Trump posted on social media on Election Day, November 03, 2026, urging votes for Joe Lombardo [10], this activity occurred after the market had already reached its high pre-election valuation and therefore lagged the movement. Social media was largely irrelevant as a primary driver of this specific price spike. Instead, the consistent historical performance of the 'None of These Candidates' option, which received 1.5% of votes in the 2022 gubernatorial election, well above the 1.0% threshold, appears to be the fundamental driver for the market's high probability [11][12].
Outcome: At least 2.0%
📈 November 05, 2026: 86.0pp spike
Price increased from 5.0% to 91.0%
What happened: The primary driver of the 86.0 percentage point price movement on November 5, 2026, was the release and widespread reporting of the final vote tallies for the Nevada Governor election [9]. Official results confirmed that the 'None of These Candidates' option received approximately 1.5% of the statewide vote, which was below the 2.0% threshold specified in the prediction market [1][2][4]. This definitive outcome prompted the market's repricing and resolution as the "At least 2.0%" outcome was negated [9]. Social media activity was irrelevant to this specific price spike, as no posts or viral narratives related to the 'None of These Candidates' vote share were identified as influencing this movement.
Outcome: At least 3.0%
📉 November 03, 2026: 20.0pp drop
Price decreased from 30.0% to 10.0%
What happened: The provided research does not identify a clear primary driver for the 20.0 percentage point drop in the "Nevada Governor election: None of These Candidates vote share? - At least 3.0%" prediction market. No specific social media activity (highest priority for this analysis), such as posts from influential figures or viral narratives, was found to correlate with this particular market movement. Other prediction market shifts concerning the Nevada Governor race also explicitly lacked confirmed catalysts [13][14]. Based on the available information, social media was irrelevant to this specific price movement.

Market Discussion
Traders are currently focused on predicting the final "None of These Candidates" vote share for the Nevada Governor election, with 94.6% of votes already counted. The market's implied probabilities indicate a strong likelihood (54%) that the "None of These Candidates" vote share will be at least 2.5%, yet a low probability (13%) of it reaching 3.0% or higher. This suggests a market consensus that the final vote share will fall within the 2.5% to just under 3.0% range.

6. What does historical data from the last five Nevada gubernatorial elections (2006-2022) reveal about the typical range and average vote share for 'None of These Candidates'?
| Average NOTC Vote Share (2006-2022) | Approximately 2.31% [1] |
|---|---|
| Highest NOTC Vote Share (Last 20+ Years) | 4.70% (2002 Nevada gubernatorial election) [1] |
| 2026 NOTC Market-Implied Median | Approximately 2.98% [2][3] |
In Nevada gubernatorial elections from 2006 to 2022, the 'None of These Candidates' (NOTC) option received an average of 2.31% of the votes. This unique ballot option, specific to Nevada among U.S. states for statewide and presidential elections since 1975, typically saw its vote share range from 1.46% to 3.56% during this period [1]. Individual election results for NOTC were 3.56% in 2006, 1.71% in 2010, 2.88% in 2014, 1.94% in 2018, and 1.46% in 2022 [1][4][5].
Earlier elections show 'None of These Candidates' can achieve higher vote shares. The 2002 Nevada gubernatorial election, for instance, recorded the highest NOTC vote share in over two decades, reaching 4.70% [1]. Furthermore, in the 2014 Democratic gubernatorial primary, NOTC secured a plurality with 30% of the popular vote, though state law still led to Robert Goodman receiving the nomination [1].
Prediction markets suggest an increased 'None of These Candidates' vote share in 2026. For the upcoming 2026 Nevada Governor race, market prices indicate a 50% probability that NOTC will receive at least 2.5% of the vote, and a 35% probability of reaching at least 3.0% [2][3]. This translates to a market-implied median of approximately 2.98% for the NOTC vote share [2][3].

7. What factors related to the 2026 Democratic and Republican nominees' public perception could catalyze a protest vote and drive the 'None of These Candidates' share above its historical average?
| Nevada Gov Poll (March 2026) | 23% undecided/other [1] |
|---|---|
| Independent Undecided (Oct 2026) | 10% [2][3] |
| Dem Voters Opposing Trump | 82% [4] |
Voter uncertainty and undecided independents created protest vote potential. Persistent ambiguity among voters regarding the 2026 Democratic and Republican nominees, coupled with a notable segment of undecided independent voters, established conditions conducive to a protest vote. For instance, early polling for the 2026 Nevada Governor race revealed substantial percentages in the 'other' or undecided categories, registering 23% in March 2026 and 14% and 18% in September polls [1]. Furthermore, 10% of independent voters remained undecided as late as October 2026, representing a crucial bloc that could have opted for 'None of These Candidates' if the major party nominees failed to sufficiently appeal to them [2][3].
Anti-incumbent sentiment and voter disengagement fueled protest vote potential. Several factors influenced public perception and could have contributed to a higher share for 'None of These Candidates'. A significant national anti-incumbent Republican sentiment was observed during the 2026 midterms, with 82% of Democratic House voters indicating opposition to Trump as a voting motivation and 50% of registered voters expressing strong disapproval of Trump [4]. This sentiment likely encouraged protest votes, even in down-ballot contests like the Nevada Governor election. Additionally, voter disengagement was substantial, with 30% of all registered voters not participating, a trend that could translate into 'None of These Candidates' votes in specific races [4]. The overwhelming majority of voters expressed a desire for change in Washington [5]. Moreover, lower enthusiasm levels, ranging from 42% to 56%, among critical Democratic demographics—including voters under 45, non-white voters, and white women with college degrees—presented potential challenges for the Democratic nominee [5][6].

8. How might the presence and polling strength of prominent independent or third-party candidates in the 2026 Nevada race affect the 'None of These Candidates' vote share compared to the 2022 and 2018 elections?
| 2026 NOTC Predicted Vote Share (Median) | 2.98% (as of November 3, 2026) [1][2][3] |
|---|---|
| 2022 NOTC Vote Share | 1.46% [4][5] |
| 2026 Danielle Ford Preliminary Vote | 2.9% [6] |
The 2026 Nevada gubernatorial election projects a higher 'None of These Candidates' vote. Prediction markets suggest an increased 'None of These Candidates' (NOTC) vote share, ranging between 2.5% and 3.5% [1][2][3]. This forecast exceeds the 1.46% NOTC vote recorded in the 2022 election [4][5] and the 1.9% attributed to 'Other/Write-in votes' in 2018 [4]. A key factor contributing to this anticipated rise is the presence of only one independent candidate, Danielle Ford, in 2026, which contrasts with the multiple third-party candidates featured in prior elections [7][4].
Prediction markets and polls indicate an elevated 'None of These Candidates' share. Kalshi prediction markets for the 2026 Nevada Governor election indicated a median implied NOTC vote share of 2.98% as of November 3, 2026 [1][2][3]. Polling data from September 22-26, 2026, further showed 'None of these candidates' garnering 4% support among registered voters and 2% among likely voters [8]. The sole independent candidate, Danielle Ford, polled at 7% support in the same September 2026 survey and received 2.9% of the vote in preliminary results [8][6]. This reduced number of third-party options in 2026 may be directing more protest votes towards 'None of These Candidates' [7].

9. Are there consistent, publicly available polls for the 2026 Nevada governor's race that specifically track voter intention for 'None of These Candidates'?
| Poll 'Other' category range | 6% to 23% (Noble Predictive Insights) [1] |
|---|---|
| Washoe County 'None of These Candidates' votes | 1.38% (2,581 votes) [2] |
| Kalshi 'At least 1.0%' vote share | 94% (November 3, 2026) [3] |
Public polls for Nevada's 2026 governor's race lack specific 'None' tracking. Consistent, publicly available polls for the 2026 Nevada governor's race do not specifically track voter intention for 'None of These Candidates' as a distinct ballot-line option [1]. Although this option appears on the ballot, no available poll specifically measured pre-election intent for it [4][5]. The closest data found included an 'Other' category in aggregated polls, showing results between 6% and 23%, and an 'Undecided' category of 18% in an Emerson College poll from November 2025 [1][6].
Post-election data provides insight into the 'None of These Candidates' vote share. Preliminary election results from the Nevada Secretary of State's Washoe County page showed 'None of These Candidates' receiving 1.38% of the vote, totaling 2,581 votes [2]. NBC News exit poll data for the election indicated that votes for 'None of These Candidates' ranged from 1% to 5% across various demographic segments [5]. Furthermore, the Kalshi prediction market, which settles based on official certified results, priced the likelihood of 'At least 1.0%' for 'None of These Candidates' at 94% and 'At least 2.5%' at 50% as of November 3, 2026 [3][7].

10. What arguments or strategies are being used by any political groups in Nevada actively campaigning for a 'None of These Candidates' vote ahead of the 2026 election?
| Implied probability for at least 2.0% NOTC vote | 64% (Nov. 3 snapshot) [1][2] |
|---|---|
| Implied probability for at least 3.0% NOTC vote | 35% (Nov. 3 snapshot) [1][2] |
| Implied probability for at least 5.0% NOTC vote | 7% (Nov. 3 snapshot) [1][2] |
No active political groups are campaigning for 'None of These Candidates' in Nevada. As of the reviewed sources, there is no public indication of any organized political group in Nevada actively campaigning for a 'None of These Candidates' (NOTC) vote in the 2026 governor election [3][4][1]. Election reporting from the sources framed the upcoming race around declared candidates such as Aaron Ford and Joe Lombardo, alongside nonpartisan candidate Danielle Ford, and did not suggest an organized NOTC campaign [4][5].
The 'None of These Candidates' option will be available on the ballot. Official election listings confirm that NOTC is an available gubernatorial ballot choice alongside named candidates [3][4]. While prediction markets indicate potential protest votes, these forecasts for NOTC are interpreted as representing residual ballot behavior or a general 'none-of-the-above' sentiment, rather than an organized campaign by a political group [3][1][2]. A third-party market summary, based on its November 3 snapshot, showed implied probabilities of NOTC receiving at least 2.0% of votes at 64%, at least 3.0% at 35%, and at least 5.0% at 7% [1][2].
11. What Could Change the Odds
Key Catalysts
Prediction market dynamics served as significant catalysts for re-evaluating election probabilities. Polymarket data indicated a substantial shift: on August 17, 2026, Joe Lombardo was priced at 63% and Aaron Ford at 37% [1]. By November 2, Ford's probability on Polymarket increased to 76%, representing a 39-point swing in his favor over roughly 10 weeks [1][2]. The market ultimately resolved with Aaron Ford at 100% [3]. Kalshi's market showed Ford at 99.9% in its final odds [4].
Key dates within the election timeline functioned as critical catalysts. The Democratic primary occurred on June 9, 2026 [5][6], with Aaron Ford winning 100% of the vote per prediction market resolution [6]. Early Voting provided another checkpoint between October 17-30, 2026 [5]. Election Day, November 3, 2026, served as the primary event [5][7][8][9]. Subsequent administrative deadlines, including the last day to receive postmarked ballots on November 7, 2026, and state certification on November 24, 2026, also acted as defined market-moving points [5][7][8][9].
Nevada's electorate structure also acted as a background catalyst for volatility. Nearly 40% of the state's voters are nonpartisan, which complicates election predictions [10]. This dynamic, combined with former President Trump winning Nevada in 2024 with 50.6% of the vote, made the outcome responsive to shifts [10].
