Will Greens win the most seats in the next Victorian state election?

Watch for: The market title asks a binary question regarding whether the Greens will win the most seats, but the rules incorporate boilerplate from a multi-candidate market, stating that it will resolve to the party occupying the highest position and mentioning a resolution to 'Other' if results are delayed past March 31, 2027.

The market title asks a binary question regarding whether the Greens will win the most seats, but the rules incorporate boilerplate from a multi-candidate market, stating that it will resolve to the party occupying the highest position and mentioning a resolution to 'Other' if results are delayed past March 31, 2027. While it notes the market resolves to 'Yes' based on which party wins the most seats, this mismatch between binary framing and multi-option resolution mechanics creates slight structural confusion. Resolution relies primarily on a consensus of credible reporting, with official figures from the Victorian Electoral Commission serving as a fallback. Clear tie-breaking procedures are defined (first-preference votes, followed by alphabetical order), and the Liberal-National Coalition's seats and votes are explicitly pooled.

Resolution rules
The 2026 Victorian state election is currently scheduled to be held on 28 November 2026 to elect members of the 61st Parliament of Victoria. This market will resolve to "Yes" according to which party or coalition wins the most seats in the Legislative Assembly (Victoria's lower house) as a result of the next Victorian state election. If the results of this election are not known definitively by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". Liberal–National refers to the Liberal–National Coalition. Liberal–National will include all seats won by both the Liberal Party and the Nationals, regardless of their parliamentary coalition behaviour, and its first-preference vote total will include the votes received by both parties. Parties and coalitions will be primarily ranked by the number of seats won in the specified election. If two or more are tied on seats, ties will be broken by the total number of valid first-preference votes received, with higher vote totals ranking higher. If they remain tied, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the listed names. This market will resolve to the party or coalition that occupies the highest finishing position after applying this ranking. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Victorian government, specifically the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) (https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/).
