The rules clearly define what constitutes officially holding the role of head of state, anchoring resolution to a precise timestamp of December 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The resolution path is well-ordered, starting with official statements from the UN-recognized government of Venezuela, followed by a specific United Nations protocol directory as a named fallback, with credible reporting only used if official channels fail to provide clarity. The rules also explicitly detail what scenarios do not count as officially holding office and provide unambiguous tie-breaking criteria if multiple individuals claim the title.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to the individual who officially holds the position of the head of state of Venezuela on Dec 31, 2026 at 12 PM ET. For the purposes of this market, "officially holds" refers to the individual that was formally appointed, confirmed (if confirmation is required), and sworn in as the head of state of Venezuela or otherwise confirmed by official government information as being the head of state of Venezuela. If the Venezuelan government does not clearly state who is the head of state, the market will resolve to the individual who is listed as the Head of State by the UN (see: https://www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/protocol/hshgnfa). In the event that more than one official head of state is listed by the Venezuelan government, this market will resolve to the individual who is listed as having primary status. If no distinction is made, the market will resolve to the individual who first assumed the position. If no individual holds the position this market will resolve to “No Head of State”. The following do NOT constitute "officially holding" the role: nominated, announced, or designated as the head of state of Venezuela but appointment not yet effective; appointed with an effective date after Dec 31, 2026; previously served as the head of state of Venezuela but term has expired, resigned, or been terminated before Dec 31, 2026; serving as the head of state of Venezuela in a consultant, contractor, or unofficial capacity; named as successor or heir apparent to the head of state of Venezuela but not yet appointed; or holding a different role with oversight of the head of state of Venezuela but not the specified position itself. The primary resolution source will be official information from the UN recognized government of Venezuela. If the Government of Venezuela does not clearly state who is the head of state, information from the UN and a consensus of credible reporting may be used. Note: this market is mutually exclusive.

How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if Delcy Rodríguez officially holds the position of head of state of Venezuela on December 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET, meaning she was formally appointed, confirmed, and sworn in, or otherwise confirmed by official government information. Individuals merely nominated, designated, acting in an unofficial capacity, or whose terms have ended do not qualify. The market resolves to No if another individual officially holds the position, or to 'No Head of State' if nobody holds it. If multiple heads of state are listed, primary status or earlier assumption date decides. Resolution is determined by official information from the UN-recognized government of Venezuela, with fallback to UN listings and credible reporting consensus.
