Colombia's presidential elections are scheduled for May 31, 2026, and a second round (if required) on June 21, 2026, in case no candidate secures more than 50% of the valid votes in the first round. This market will resolve to "Yes" if any candidate wins this election in the first round. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If the result of the first round of this election isn't known by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "No". This market will resolve based on the election results, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by Colombia's National Civil Registry (Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil) (https://registraduria.gov.co).Recent polls confirm trader consensus that no presidential candidate will secure the absolute majority required for an outright first-round victory on May 31, with progressive Iván Cepeda leading at 36-44% in the latest Invamer and GAD3 surveys from mid-April, followed by far-right Abelardo de la Espriella at 21% and center-right Paloma Valencia at 13-20%. A fragmented field, split right-wing vote, and historical patterns of runoffs—triggered absent over 50% of valid votes—drive the 94.5% implied probability on "No," reinforced by March legislative elections yielding a divided Congress. Escalating pre-election violence in Cauca and threats against Cepeda add uncertainty but do little to consolidate support toward a majority threshold. Late surges or voter turnout shifts remain possible wildcards.
