About This Event
Virginia voters are scheduled to vote in the November 3, 2026 midterm elections on a constitutional amendment which, if passed, would establish a constitutional right to reproductive freedom in the state. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment passes according to Virginia election procedure. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” If this constitutional amendment is removed from the November 3, 2026 ballot in Virginia, this market will resolve immediately to “No.” If, for any reason, the results of this vote are not known by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No.” This market will resolve based on the results of the vote according to a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official results reported by the Commonwealth of Virginia, specifically the Virginia Department of Elections (https://www.elections.virginia.gov/results/).

What the contract measures
The market asks whether the Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment passes. The source states that the market "will resolve to 'Yes' if the Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment passes according to Virginia election procedure" [1]. Voters are scheduled to decide the measure in the November 3, 2026 midterm elections [1].
The rules include several conditions that affect how the contract resolves. If the amendment is removed from the ballot, the market resolves "No" immediately [1]. If the vote results are not known by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, it also resolves "No" [1]. Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting, with official Virginia Department of Elections results controlling in case of ambiguity [1]. The listed end time is 2026-11-04T04:59:00.000Z [1]. That date is a contract closing time from the listing, not a result or an announcement of when results will be published.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-16T00:00:06.034Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-16T02:44:07.275Z [1]. These are the times for this record only. They do not show current prices after retrieval.
At the observation time, the saved Polymarket market showed a Yes price of 0.905 and a No price of 0.095 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. The sample covers one market from one provider event, and the coverage record shows that all one saved market was included [1]. Because this is a single binary contract, there is no other outcome in the sample to compare against. The record does not include volume or liquidity, so it cannot be used to judge depth or how many traders are involved.
Because only this one event is in the evidence, no comparison with other platforms or contracts is made here. Differences in wording or closing times between contracts should be checked against each contract's own rules.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not explain why the Yes price is at its observed level. It does not include the vote result, current news about the amendment, or any information about the ballot status after the observation time. It also does not show whether the price has changed since retrieval. Readers should check the contract's live listing and the official Virginia results before relying on any outcome.

Overview
This contract asks whether the Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment will pass. Voters are scheduled to decide it in the November 3, 2026 midterm elections [1]. The measure is described as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on the November 2026 ballot [2]. If passed, the state constitution would provide that every individual has a fundamental right to reproductive freedom, covering decisions about prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, abortion care, miscarriage management, and fertility care [2]. The proposed text would let the legislature restrict abortion in the third trimester, but only when the restriction is not necessary to protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual, or when the fetus is not viable [2]. Reference material on U.S. abortion law notes that there is no uniform federal law and that state rules vary significantly [3]. The Virginia amendment would sit within that state-by-state framework [2][3]. The market resolves Yes if the amendment passes according to Virginia election procedure, and No otherwise [1]. The provider rules also say the market resolves No immediately if the amendment is removed from the November 3, 2026 ballot [1]. In the saved snapshot, the Yes outcome was priced at 0.905 and the No outcome at 0.095 [1]. These figures are price snapshots from the provider at the observation time. They are not executable quotes or verified probabilities.
Why It Matters
The contract measures a single ballot outcome: whether the proposed constitutional right to reproductive freedom is approved by Virginia voters on November 3, 2026 [1][2]. Because the amendment would establish a constitutional right and also allow certain third-trimester restrictions, the question is tied to how Virginia's constitution would treat abortion and related care if approved [2]. The contract's wording is therefore narrower than the broader debate over abortion law, and it covers only the vote result as defined in the rules [1].
