About This Event
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Emmanuel Macron ceases to be President of France for any length of time between January 2 and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET (inclusive). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If Macron departs from office before the expiry date, the market should resolve immediately.

What the contract measures
The saved Polymarket record is a single binary market titled "Macron out by December 31, 2026?" [1]. Its rule text says the market resolves "Yes" if Emmanuel Macron "ceases to be President of France for any length of time between January 2 and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET (inclusive)." The rule also says that if he departs before the expiry date, the market "should resolve immediately" [1].
The title and the listed end date point to 2026, but the rule text names 2025. The record does not explain this difference, so a reader should not assume which period governs resolution. The listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z [1]. A listed end time is a provider field, not a confirmed resolution event.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observed the market at 2026-10-13T03:00:06.088Z, and the source was retrieved at 03:37:16.670Z [1]. These are snapshot times, not live prices. The recorded status is "active" [1].
The saved prices are Yes at 0.04 and No at 0.96 [1]. These are quoted snapshot values. They are not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. The record includes no volume or liquidity figures, so it says nothing about depth or how many people traded.
The market sample is complete for this saved event: one market was found and one was included, with no partial sample flag [1]. The sample warning states that this "does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. Since this is a binary Yes or No contract, the sample covers both outcomes.
What remains uncertain
Three points need caution. First, the 2025 wording in the rules conflicts with the 2026 title and end date, so the period the contract covers is unclear from this evidence. Second, the snapshot may be out of date by the time a reader views it, so it should not be treated as a current price. Third, no reasons for the price level are present in the evidence, and no comparison with other platforms or contracts is possible from this record.

Saved Oct 13, 2026 UTCOverview
The Polymarket event "Macron out by...?" is a yes or no contract on whether Emmanuel Macron stops being President of France within a defined window. The provider's rules say the market "will resolve to 'Yes' if Emmanuel Macron ceases to be President of France for any length of time" within the stated period, and otherwise resolves to "No" [1]. Under the rules, an early departure from office would lead to immediate resolution [1]. The rules name the French government as the primary resolution source, with a consensus of credible reporting also used [1]. The contract therefore turns on a factual change in office, not on a forecast of policy or public opinion. Wikipedia entries describe Macron as a French politician who has served as President of France since 2017 [2], but a Wikipedia retrieval is background reference material and does not verify who holds office on any given day. Any present-day status should be checked against the primary sources named in the rules. The contract's dates need care. The rule text refers to a window between January 2 and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET [1]. The market title reads "Macron out by December 31, 2026?" and the saved listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z [1]. These dates do not match each other within the saved material. A date in contract rules is not an announced event, and the listed end time is provider data rather than a confirmed resolution. Readers should check the current rule text on the provider page before relying on the window.
Historical Context
Wikipedia entries describe Macron's career before the contract's window. He served as Deputy Secretary-General to the President from 2012 to 2014 and as Minister of Economics and Finance from 2014 to 2016 under François Hollande [2]. He launched En Marche in April 2016, saying it was "neither right nor left" [3]. The same source notes that by March 2017 he stated that he and his party were now "both right and left" [3]. Earlier observers had described him as a social liberal or a social democrat, reflecting his time in the Socialist Party [3]. These entries are historical background and do not establish events after their retrieval.
Why It Matters
The contract measures a single binary event: whether Macron ceases to hold the office of President of France for any length of time within the period defined in the rules [1]. Because the rules count any length of time, a brief departure would satisfy the Yes condition, not only a full term ending [1]. The resolution depends on the government of France as the primary source, with credible reporting as a secondary check [1]. The saved market shows Yes and No outcomes with prices from a single observation [1]. Those prices are snapshots of the market at one moment, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The contract is a single market in its saved event, so it does not show how other possible outcomes might be priced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What would make this market resolve to Yes?
The market resolves to "Yes" if Emmanuel Macron ceases to be President of France for any length of time within the stated window, and to "No" otherwise [1]. If he leaves office before the expiry date, the rules say the market should resolve immediately [1].
Which sources will decide the outcome?
The primary resolution source is information from the government of France, and a consensus of credible reporting will also be used [1].
Why do the dates in this contract seem inconsistent?
The rule text refers to a window from January 2 to December 31, 2025 [1], while the title asks about December 31, 2026 and the saved listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z [1]. The saved material does not explain this difference, so the current rule text on the provider page should be checked before drawing conclusions about the window.
