The market resolves based on the official certification or declaration by the relevant electoral authority. For the first round of a presidential election, the winner is the candidate who is officially declared the winner of that specific round by the authority, regardless of whether they win the presidency outright, proceed to a runoff, or are ultimately sworn in. The market will resolve for that candidate even if they die or are incapacitated after being declared the winner of the first round. If an election is postponed, the contract remains open until the new date, for a maximum of two years. Contested results are resolved based on the final certified outcome by the appropriate electoral authority or highest court with jurisdiction.
