Will the Democratic Party win the NM-01 House seat?

The Democratic contract is priced at an extremely high 92¢ with minimal recent trading activity ($0 in 24h volume), suggesting the market has settled into a consensus view rather than reflecting active price discovery. The asymmetric implied yields—15.8% for Yes versus 2092% for No—reveal severe illiquidity on the No side, where the $27.6k open interest is heavily concentrated in Democratic positions, creating outsized returns for any contrarian bet. With 201 days to expiration and a tight 2¢ spread, this market appears to be pricing in a near-certain Democratic hold of NM-01, though the extreme No-side yield and elevated cliff risk score of 12 suggest vulnerability to unexpected political shifts that could rapidly reprrice this heavily one-sided position.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the NM-01 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. 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 United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
