This contract asks which party will win the most seats in the Congress of Deputies from the constituency of Cáceres in Spain's next general election. The contract text states that legislative elections to elect the 350 members of the Congress of Deputies are scheduled for November 29, 2026 [1]. That date appears in the contract's description of the election and is not presented as a separate announcement of the event. The market resolves to the party that occupies the highest finishing position after ranking parties by the number of seats their electoral lists win in Cáceres [1]. The ranking has tie-break rules. If parties are tied on seats, the total number of valid votes received by their lists in Cáceres decides the order, with higher totals ranking higher. If parties are still tied, alphabetical order of the listed party names decides [1]. Seats and votes are attributed by the electoral list on which they were obtained, as shown in the official results, regardless of the party membership of individual candidates [1]. Electoral cooperation, endorsements, coalition agreements, and later changes in party affiliation or parliamentary-group membership are not considered [1]. The contract groups several lists under named parties. PSOE includes Partit dels Socialistes de Catalunya lists in Catalonia. PP includes the joint UPN-PP list in Navarre. Broad Front includes lists such as Catalunya en Comú, Compromís-Valencian Front, and Canarian People's Unity [1]. ERC includes joint ERC-Podem lists in Catalonia, while Podemos counts only lists it presents on its own. CCa includes joint CCa-1º CAN lists in the Canary Islands [1]. Any other list is attributed to the party or coalition that presents it, as named in the official proclamation of candidacies [1]. Resolution depends on a consensus of credible reporting. If the results are ambiguous, the contract says the market resolves solely on the results reported by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior [1]. If the results are not definitively known by November 30, 2027 at 11:59 PM ET, the market resolves to the option labeled Other [1]. The listed end time for the event is 2026-11-30T04:59:00.000Z [1]. The saved event contains five separate yes or no markets, one for each of PP, PSOE, Broad Front, Vox, and Podemos winning the most Cáceres seats [1]. Each market asks whether that single party will finish first, so the contracts are separate questions rather than parts of one ranked list.

Historical Context

The supplied Wikipedia entries describe earlier Spanish general elections. A general election was held in Spain on 26 June 2016 to elect the members of the 12th Cortes Generales under the Spanish Constitution of 1978, with all 350 Congress seats and 208 of 266 Senate seats up for election. It was a repeat election under Article 99.5 of the Constitution after government formation negotiations failed following the previous general election [2]. A later general election was held on 23 July 2023 to elect the 15th Cortes Generales. The entry notes that it was the first time since 1839 that a general election in Spain was held in July [3]. These entries are background only and do not describe the 2026 election.
