Will the Democratic Party win the VA-10 House seat?

The Democratic contract has surged 34 cents over seven days to 89¢, reflecting strong conviction in the party's hold on Virginia's 10th district, though the 9¢ spread and zero 24-hour volume suggest thin liquidity despite $7,927 in open interest. The extreme 1,469% implied yield on the No side combined with a cliff risk index of 8 indicates severe mispricing or illiquidity rather than genuine uncertainty—the market is essentially illiquid at the extremes. With 201 days to expiration and an information arrival rate of 3.7 events per hour, this appears to be a one-sided market where the Democratic lean may be justified but offers poor risk-reward for contrarian bettors given the execution challenges.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the VA-10 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/).
