Resolution Criteria
Senate Control: YES resolves if, after the November 3, 2026 general election, the Democratic Party holds at least 51 U.S. Senate seats (or 50 + the Vice President, if applicable) in the next Senate. NO resolves if Republicans hold the majority.
Settlement
Settlement will be based on the certified election results as reported by the Federal Election Commission (or other reliable, official sources).
If there is no clear majority (e.g., tie + power-sharing deal), the market should specify a tie-break rule (for example, “NO” if no outright Democratic majority).
If one chamber’s election is invalidated or postponed, that portion of the contract resolves “NO” unless otherwise specified.
