The market resolves on standard US congressional election outcomes for Virginia's 2nd District in the 2026 midterms. Resolution primarily relies on an unspecified consensus of credible media reporting, which involves interpretive discretion, but a clear fallback to official Federal Election Commission certified results is designated if ambiguity arises. Clear provisions explain how independent or third-party candidates are classified based on ballot listing or stated intent to caucus when all House races are called.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the VA-02 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/).
