The rules clearly specify how seats are allocated to individual parties rather than coalitions based on official filings with the Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana del Estado de Jalisco (IEPC). Tie-breaking criteria are explicitly detailed, moving from proportional representation vote totals to alphabetical ordering. Participants should note the exceptional clause where the market resolves to 'Other' if final official results are delayed beyond March 31, 2028. While initial resolution looks to credible reporting consensus, official governmental and IEPC results serve as the binding authority for any ambiguities.

Resolution rules
Legislative elections to elect the 38 members of the Congress of the State of Jalisco are scheduled to take place on June 6, 2027. This market will resolve according to the political party that wins the greatest number of seats in the Congress of the State of Jalisco as a result of this election. Parties will be primarily ranked by the number of seats won in the specified election. If two or more parties are tied on seats, ties will be broken by the total number of valid votes received by each party's list in the proportional representation vote, with higher vote totals ranking higher. If parties remain tied, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the listed party names. This market will resolve to the party that occupies the highest finishing position after applying this ranking. Seats will be attributed to the political party under which each elected deputy is officially registered in the final results published by the Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana del Estado de Jalisco. For district (mayoría relativa) seats won by a coalition or common candidacy, the seat will count toward the party to which the elected deputy is assigned in the official results, pursuant to the coalition agreement registered with the Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana del Estado de Jalisco, and not toward the coalition as a whole. Proportional representation seats will count toward the party to which they are allocated. Subsequent changes in party affiliation or parliamentary-group membership will not be considered. If the results of the specified election are not definitively known by March 31, 2028, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the results of the elections, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. In the case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on the official results as reported by the governments of Jalisco and Mexico, including the Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana del Estado de Jalisco (https://www.iepcjalisco.org.mx/).
Market explained
This market measures whether Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) will win the greatest number of seats in the 2027 Jalisco Congress election, including specific tie-breaker rules based on proportional representation votes and alphabetical order.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if MC achieves the highest finishing position among all political parties based on seats won in the 2027 Jalisco Congress election. If parties tie on seats, the tie is broken first by the total valid votes received in the proportional representation vote, and second by alphabetical order. District seats won by a coalition count toward the specific party assigned in official results, and proportional seats count toward the allocated party; subsequent affiliation changes are disregarded. The market resolves to No if another party finishes highest under these rules. The market resolves to Other if results are not definitively known by March 31, 2028, at 11:59 PM ET. Resolution is decided by a consensus of credible reporting, with official results from the Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana del Estado de Jalisco and Mexican authorities deciding in case of ambiguity.
