Read the full assessment
The rules provide clear and explicit mechanics for determining which party wins the most seats. Individual seat attribution under coalitions is explicitly tied to official registration agreements, and a precise, multi-step tie-breaking procedure is defined. Official results from the Instituto Electoral de Tamaulipas serve as the authoritative standard in case of ambiguity. There is a broad longstop deadline of March 31, 2028, ensuring sufficient time for post-election certifications and dispute resolutions.

Resolution rules
Legislative elections to elect the 36 members of the Congress of the State of Tamaulipas are scheduled to take place on June 6, 2027. This market will resolve according to the political party that wins the greatest number of seats in the Congress of the State of Tamaulipas as a result of this election. Parties will be primarily ranked by the number of seats won in the specified election. If two or more parties are tied on seats, ties will be broken by the total number of valid votes received by each party's list in the proportional representation vote, with higher vote totals ranking higher. If parties remain tied, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the listed party names. This market will resolve to the party that occupies the highest finishing position after applying this ranking. Seats will be attributed to the political party under which each elected deputy is officially registered in the final results published by the Instituto Electoral de Tamaulipas. For district (mayoría relativa) seats won by a coalition or common candidacy, the seat will count toward the party to which the elected deputy is assigned in the official results, pursuant to the coalition agreement registered with the Instituto Electoral de Tamaulipas, and not toward the coalition as a whole. Proportional representation seats will count toward the party to which they are allocated. Subsequent changes in party affiliation or parliamentary-group membership will not be considered. If the results of the specified election are not definitively known by March 31, 2028, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the results of the elections, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. In the case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on the official results as reported by the governments of Tamaulipas and Mexico, including the Instituto Electoral de Tamaulipas (https://www.ietam.org.mx/).
Market explained
This market measures whether the National Action Party (PAN) will win the greatest number of seats in the 2027 election for the Congress of the State of Tamaulipas. Resolution includes explicit tie-breaking criteria and rules for allocating coalition seats to individual parties.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if PAN finishes in the highest position by winning the greatest number of seats. If multiple parties tie on seat counts, ties are broken first by the total valid proportional representation votes, and then alphabetically by party name. Seats won via coalitions or common candidacies are credited to the specific party designated in the official coalition agreement, not the coalition as a whole. Subsequent party switches or parliamentary group changes are disregarded. The market resolves to No if another party finishes in the highest position. The market resolves to Other if the election results are not definitively known by March 31, 2028, at 11:59 PM ET. Resolution is determined by a consensus of credible reporting, with official results from the Instituto Electoral de Tamaulipas or the governments of Tamaulipas and Mexico deciding any ambiguity.
