The rules clearly specify the qualifying condition: the named candidate must advance to the runoff or win outright in the first round of the next French presidential election. A definitive expiration date of December 31, 2027 is provided if the election does not occur or results are delayed, resolving to No in that scenario. For resolution sources, consensus reporting is referenced first, but a specific official government authority (the French Ministry of the Interior) serves as the formal fallback, minimizing decider latitude.

Resolution rules
The next French presidential election is currently expected to be held around April 2027. This market pertains to the outcome of the next French presidential election, regardless of whether it follows the scheduled end of the current term or is held earlier. The President of France is elected via a two-round system; a candidate must secure over 50% of the vote to win outright in the first round. If no candidate achieves this, the top two contenders advance to a runoff second round. This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed candidate advances to the second round of the next French presidential election or wins the election outright in the first round. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If no such election occurs or the results of the first round of this election are not known by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No". 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 French Government, specifically the Ministry of the Interior (https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/).
