Resolution criteria
This market resolves to the name of the European country with a general/national election scheduled or planned for 2027 that holds its election first (earliest calendar date), starting from the market creation date.
Eligible countries are the 4 big EU countries that will have a presidential/parliamentary election in 2027 or earlier if called.
France: Presidential election (the first round of voting, or any snap legislative election if called earlier).
Spain: General legislative election (Congress of Deputies / Senate).
Poland: Parliamentary election (Sejm / Senate).
Italy: General legislative election (Chamber of Deputies / Senate).
Other countries: Not considred. I just couldn't remove the option 'Other'
The country whose election is held on the earliest calendar date wins. If a snap election is called and held prior to the scheduled 2027 dates (including in late 2026), that earlier date will be used for that country.
If multiple countries hold their elections on the same day and it is the earliest date, the market will resolve to a tie/split among those countries.
Election dates will be verified via official governmental electoral portals and reputable international news outlets.
