This market clearly specifies the target race as the 2026 midterm election for New York's 21st congressional district. Party affiliation rules clearly account for standard ballot designations and specify caucus intent for independent candidates. Primary resolution relies on a consensus of credible media reporting, with an explicit official fallback to the Federal Election Commission if results remain ambiguous. Timing aligns naturally with the conclusion of the 2026 midterm election cycle.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the NY-21 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 3, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
