The rules clearly define what constitutes officially holding the position of head of state of Venezuela at an exact date and time (December 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET). Explicit exclusions outline scenarios such as unconfirmed nominees, expired terms, and unofficial acting capacities. The resolution hierarchy is clearly specified, starting with official government announcements, falling back to the linked United Nations protocol directory if the government position is unclear, and using a consensus of credible reporting only as a final resort.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to the individual who officially holds the position of the head of state of Venezuela on Dec 31, 2026 at 12 PM ET. For the purposes of this market, "officially holds" refers to the individual that was formally appointed, confirmed (if confirmation is required), and sworn in as the head of state of Venezuela or otherwise confirmed by official government information as being the head of state of Venezuela. If the Venezuelan government does not clearly state who is the head of state, the market will resolve to the individual who is listed as the Head of State by the UN (see: https://www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/protocol/hshgnfa). In the event that more than one official head of state is listed by the Venezuelan government, this market will resolve to the individual who is listed as having primary status. If no distinction is made, the market will resolve to the individual who first assumed the position. If no individual holds the position this market will resolve to “No Head of State”. The following do NOT constitute "officially holding" the role: nominated, announced, or designated as the head of state of Venezuela but appointment not yet effective; appointed with an effective date after Dec 31, 2026; previously served as the head of state of Venezuela but term has expired, resigned, or been terminated before Dec 31, 2026; serving as the head of state of Venezuela in a consultant, contractor, or unofficial capacity; named as successor or heir apparent to the head of state of Venezuela but not yet appointed; or holding a different role with oversight of the head of state of Venezuela but not the specified position itself. The primary resolution source will be official information from the UN recognized government of Venezuela. If the Government of Venezuela does not clearly state who is the head of state, information from the UN and a consensus of credible reporting may be used. Note: this market is mutually exclusive.

Market explained

This market measures whether Vladimir Padrino López will officially hold the position of head of state of Venezuela at the end of 2026.

How it resolves

The market resolves Yes if Vladimir Padrino López officially holds the office of head of state of Venezuela on December 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET by being formally appointed, confirmed, sworn in, or confirmed by official government information. Individuals who are merely nominated, designated with a future effective date, serving unofficially or as consultants, named as successors, or whose terms have ended do not qualify. The market resolves No if another individual officially holds the position or if no individual holds the role. If multiple individuals are listed, the one with primary status or who assumed office first qualifies. Resolution is decided using official information from the UN-recognized government of Venezuela, with UN listings and credible reporting consensus serving as fallbacks.
