What the market asks and how it resolves
The market asks which candidate wins the next French presidential election, expected around April 2027. It covers any potential second round. France uses a two-round system, and a candidate must secure over 50% of the vote in the first round to win outright; otherwise the top two advance to a runoff. The market resolves by consensus of credible reporting, with the French Government Ministry of the Interior as the official reference. If results are not known by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, it resolves to Other.
