The rules clearly specify that resolution depends on the candidate who places third by valid votes in the first round of the 2027 French presidential election. Official data from the French Ministry of the Interior serves as the definitive backup source if reporting is unclear. Explicit mechanisms are provided for tie-breaking by alphabetical order and for handling indefinite delays via a long-stop date resolving to Other.

Resolution rules
A presidential election is scheduled to take place in France on April 18, 2027. This market will resolve according to the listed candidate who receives the third-most valid votes in the first round of this election. Candidates will be primarily ranked by order of valid votes won. If two or more candidates are tied for any position, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the candidates’ listed full names as they appear in this market. This market will resolve to the candidate that occupies the third-highest finishing position after applying this ranking. If the result of this election isn't known definitively by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". 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 French Government, specifically the Ministry of the Interior (https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/).
