Show full assessmentShow less

The market resolves based on the winning party of Tennessee's 5th congressional district in the 2026 midterms. The primary resolution source is a consensus of credible reporting, falling back to official Federal Election Commission results if ambiguity arises. The rules clearly define how party affiliation is handled, including explicit guidance for independent candidates based on their stated caucusing intentions. Resolution timing depends on when all House races are conclusively called, which could introduce minor delays if other districts experience recounts, but overall the outcome tracks the direct certified election result with minimal ambiguity.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the TN-05 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/).
