The Associated Press on Monday March 2 announced that it will provide its U.S. elections results to Kalshi, the world’s largest prediction market.
AP will provide Kalshi with its vote count data and race calls for national and major state elections, making AP’s election information available on the platform.
Kalshi, which is credited with creating and establishing the predictions market category as a financial asset class, joins a global network of news organizations, technology companies and other customers who rely on AP’s elections data and information.
Kalshi has become a top destination to track election results, receiving over 500 million site visits during the 2024 presidential election. Ingesting AP’s live vote data in addition to the native forecasts will provide Kalshi users with a new and improved way to engage with American democracy and the electoral process.
“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,” said David Scott, vice president for AP Elections. “We’re pleased to be working with Kalshi as we work to 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.”
“This collaboration will further Kalshi’s goal of being the premier destination to experience elections, combining AP’s trusted vote results with our transparent, market-based forecasts, creating a more complete picture of election night,” said Jaron Zhou, Kalshi’s Head of Politics. “Kalshi’s election forecasts help campaigns and everyday citizens track market expectations for election outcomes, and integrating AP’s live vote count data enhances Kalshi’s election night experience by bringing together real-time vote tallies and market activity.”
With a history of accuracy dating to 1848, AP sets the standard for counting the vote, declaring winners and explaining the results of American elections to the public. In 2024, AP counted the vote and declared winners in nearly 7,000 races with a 99.9% accuracy rate.
AP in October announced it will provide elections results to ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News, in addition to longstanding elections customer FOX News Media, making AP’s vote count the undisputed source for trusted information on election night. AP also recently added CNBC and MS NOW as elections customers.
In 2025, AP stood up a standalone business unit, AP Elections, to help grow its elections business following a record year in 2024, with a 30% increase in customers over the last presidential cycle.
