Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in the Maldives on Saturday, 9 September 2023. In the elections, the candidate who receives a majority (or more than 50%) of the valid votes cast is elected president. If no candidate receives an outright majority, the election then proceeds to a runoff (or second round), which are mandated to be held no less than 21 days following the initial election day between the two front runners. The candidate who receives the majority of the vote is then elected president.

3.00@AbdullaFaraz I believe this market and the other three markets can be resolved.
1. Dr. Muiz gained the most votes. Resolves Dr. Mohamed Muiz.
2. No candidates gained a majority of more than 50% of the votes. Resolves NO.
3. Ilyas Labeeb gained 7% of the votes. Resolves YES.
4. Ibrahim Mohamed Solih gained 39% of the votes. Resolves YES.
According to this August 2023 opinion poll, almost half of Maldivians are undecided, but more prefer Solih than prefer Muizzu.
