Snapshot observed 2026-10-26T03:00:05.873Z. This analysis describes that snapshot and is not a live news update.

What the contract measures

The Polymarket event "Cusco Mayoral Election Winner" resolves according to the candidate who becomes the next Mayor of the Provincial Municipality of Cusco as a result of the 2026 election [1]. The rules say the election "is currently scheduled to be held on October 4, 2026" [1]. That date appears in the contract wording. It is not evidence of an announced event, and this evidence does not confirm it. Temporary, interim, or placeholder mayors appointed before the election are excluded [1].

The primary resolution source is "a consensus of credible reporting." If the result is ambiguous, the market uses official information from the Peruvian government, including the National Jury of Elections (JNE) and the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) [1]. If the election is annulled or its result is not known by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market resolves to "Other" [1].

Each candidate appears as a separate Yes or No market. Each listed end time is 2026-10-05T03:59:00.000Z [1]. That listed close time differs from the election date written in the rules, and the excerpt does not explain the relationship between them.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation time is 2026-10-26T03:00:05.873Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-26T06:02:37.681Z [1]. These prices describe that saved snapshot. They are not live quotes. The listing shows status "active," but its listed end time is earlier than the observation time, so the current status should be checked with the provider.

At observation, the Yes price for Albert Aníbal Arenas Yabar was 0.5015 and for Sergio Sullca Condori was 0.074 [1]. William Peña Farfán was 0.0595, Federico Huamán Tapara 0.0525, and Iván Hurtado Villafuerte 0.04 [1]. The remaining included candidates ranged from 0.0165 down to 0.0005 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The excerpt contains no volume data, so it says nothing about liquidity or the number of traders.

This is a partial sample. Twelve of 14 markets from this provider event are included [1]. The selection ranks markets by Yes price, so the two omitted markets are not shown. The evidence does not report their prices, so they should not be inferred from the included ranking. The sample comes from one provider event, so no cross-platform comparison is supported.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not show whether the election has taken place, what its result was, or what reporting has followed. It also does not explain why any price is where it is. Treat the snapshot as a record of one retrieval, not as a description of current conditions. Because the "Other" outcome and the two omitted candidates are absent from the included prices, a reader cannot compare the full field from this excerpt.
