The one trap

If no winner is known by June 30, 2027, the market settles as “Other”.

See all fine print
  • Polymarket goes by what major news outlets agree on. If that is unclear, it uses the official results from the Central Election Commission.
  • Someone holding the job temporarily before the election doesn’t count.
  • Official certified results can come weeks after news outlets call the race, so other venues may settle later or differently.
