New Zealand legislative election winner?

This event tracks which political party will win the most seats in the New Zealand House of Representatives following the 2026 New Zealand legislative election. Each market measures whether a specific party secures the greatest number of seats.

How the outcomes relate

Markets correspond to individual political parties competing in the election. Because resolution is based on the single party that wins the greatest number of seats (with tiebreaker rules determining a single winner in the event of a tie), at most one market can resolve Yes.

How it resolves

A market resolves Yes if its named party wins the greatest number of seats in the New Zealand House of Representatives in the election. If multiple parties tie for the most seats, the tiebreaker goes to the party with more valid party list votes, and if still tied, the party appearing first alphabetically. If results are not definitively known by October 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET, the event resolves to 'Other'. Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting, with official New Zealand government sources used if ambiguity arises.
