The rules clearly specify the three state parliamentary elections in scope (Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Berlin) and explicitly exclude any other state contests. A win is defined to include ties for the most seats won. Although the primary resolution basis relies on a consensus of credible reporting, an explicit fallback to the official websites of the respective parliamentary bodies reduces discretionary judgment. Delayed elections are covered up to a clear cutoff of December 31, 2026, and any post-publication challenges or invalidations are explicitly ruled out.

Resolution rules
Parliamentary elections to elect the Landtag of Sachsen-Anhalt (also known as Saxony-Anhalt), the Landtag of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin are scheduled to take place in September of 2026. This market will resolve to the number of elections, among those three listed, in which Alternative für Deutschland, also referred to as AfD or Alternative for Germany, wins or ties for the greatest number of seats in these elections. No other election in a German state parliamentary body will be considered, even if it is held in September of 2026. A delayed election to any of the three referenced bodies will be considered so long as voting is completed by December 31, 2026 at 11:59PM ET. This market will resolve based on the results of the elections, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as published on the official websites of the listed parliamentary bodies. No potential challenge or invalidation of an election that occurs after the publication of the official results will be relevant to this market.
