What the contract measures

This Polymarket contract asks whether Zohran Mamdani will raise the minimum wage to $30 before 2027. The source describes the proposal as one that "has proposed raising New York City's minimum wage to $30 an hour by 2030" [1]. The contract is narrower than that proposal. It resolves "Yes" only if two conditions both occur: Mamdani wins the 2025 NYC mayoral election, and "A policy is enacted in New York City before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, which would establish a minimum" wage. The supplied excerpt cuts off at that point, so the full wording of the wage condition is not available in this evidence [1].

The rules set an enactment deadline of December 31, 2026. The listed end time for the market is 2031-01-01T04:59:00Z [1]. These are different dates with different meanings. The deadline is a condition in the contract rules, not an announced event. The listed end time is the provider's close setting. The evidence does not say how these two dates interact in settlement, so readers should check the full rules before relying on either one.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation time is 2026-10-13T09:10:12.733Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-13T10:52:45.368Z [1]. The prices below describe that observation, not live trading at the time you read this.

• Yes: 0.095
• No: 0.905

These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. The evidence contains no volume, liquidity, or trader count, so it says nothing about how deep the market is or how many participants hold each side.

The coverage record lists one market for this Polymarket event, with one included and no partial sampling [1]. The supplied sample warning states that all saved markets for this event are included, but that this does not establish that the provider lists every possible real-world outcome. Because there is only one contract here, no comparison within this event is possible. Any comparison with other platforms or other events would involve different wording and different close times, so the prices should not be averaged or treated as an arbitrage signal.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why the Yes price is 0.095 or why it might have changed. It does not establish whether the 2025 election condition has been met, because the supplied material only describes it as a rule. It also does not include any enacted policy, legislative status, or recent reporting that would bear on the wage condition. The excerpt is cut off mid-sentence, so the exact resolution language is incomplete. For a current view, the reader would need a newer provider snapshot and the full contract rules.
