Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve to the candidate who receives the second-highest vote total in the 2025 Seattle Mayoral Election (not the primary).

If the election is canceled, postponed beyond 2025, or if the electoral system changes in a way that makes determining a clear second place impossible, the market will resolve as N/A.
