Kalshi and Polymarket prohibit affiliates from spreading election misinformation

Kalshi and Polymarket announced on June 8, 2026, that they will prohibit paid content creators and affiliates from denying election results on their platforms. This move comes as online creators have been spreading misinformation regarding California's election. According to NPR technology reporter Bobby Allyn, Kalshi has updated its policies to explicitly forbid paid creators from questioning the integrity or accuracy of elections, legal rulings, or official determinations connected to elections. This action by the prediction market platforms aims to curb the spread of election-related misinformation originating from sponsored content creators. The policy change targets a specific type of misinformation that undermines public trust in electoral processes and official outcomes. Both Kalshi and Polymarket are taking a proactive stance to ensure the information shared on their platforms aligns with factual election results and legal determinations.
