Is a Date for Venezuela's Next Presidential Election Announced Before December 31, 2026?

Market context

After Nicolás Maduro's capture by the United States in January, Delcy Rodríguez became interim president and says "there will be elections," with a dialogue open with the opposition, but without setting a date. This market does not track whether people vote, but an earlier, concrete step: whether Venezuela's government announces a date for the next presidential election before the end of 2026. It is the same market trading on global platforms.

Resolution criteria

• How it resolvesResolves Yes if, on or before December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM U.S. Eastern Time (ET) (04:59:00 UTC on January 1, 2027), a date for Venezuela's next presidential election is officially announced. To qualify, the election must be scheduled to be held before 2030. Whether the election would take place inside or outside this timeframe has no effect: the only thing that counts is that a date is announced within the market's period. Primary source: official information from the government of Venezuela (for example the National Electoral Council); a consensus of credible reporting from at least two of Reuters, AP, AFP, Bloomberg may also be used. Resolves No if no date is announced within the timeframe.
