This market resolves on the outcome of the 2026 House race for Washington's 3rd Congressional District. The rules clearly define how party affiliation is determined, including how to handle independent or third-party candidates via their stated intent to caucus. Resolution relies initially on a consensus of credible reporting, with an explicit fallback to official Federal Election Commission certified results if ambiguity arises. The mechanics are standard for congressional election markets and present minimal risk of an unexpected outcome.
