Resolution criteria
This market resolves YES if Volt receives 4,000 or more votes in the next Delft municipal elections, scheduled for March 2026. Resolution will be based on official results published by the Municipality of Delft at https://www.delft.nl/. The market resolves NO if Volt receives fewer than 4,000 votes.
Background
Volt won two seats in Delft in the 2022 municipal elections, marking the party's first participation in municipal elections. In the 2023 provincial council elections, Volt made the largest gains in Delft, suggesting growing support in the municipality. The party has historically received most of its votes in university cities, and Delft is home to TU Delft, a major technical university.
Considerations
The 4,000-vote threshold is ambitious for a relatively new party in a single municipality. For context, Volt's two seats in Delft in 2022 would have required a significant vote share. Voter turnout and the competitive landscape in Delft will be key factors in determining whether Volt can reach this target.
