This market clearly defines how the winning party will be identified for Wisconsin's 8th congressional district in the 2026 midterms, including explicit rules for non-major-party candidates based on their stated intent to caucus. Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting, with an official fallback to Federal Election Commission results if reporting is ambiguous. While assessing a media consensus requires some discretion, the outcome of a standard congressional race is typically straightforward and verifiable.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the WI-08 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/).
