Prior to the election, the French Constitutional Council is expected to publish the official list of candidates to be included on the ballot for the first round of this election. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed individual is included on the official candidate list for the first round of the 2027 French presidential election. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. If no such candidate list is published prior to the election, this market will resolve based on which candidates actually appear on the ballot when the election takes place. If no list is published and the specified election does not take place by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”. The primary resolution source for this market will be the official candidate list published by the French Constitutional Council; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. ## Evidence you can inspect _These labels describe how a claim relates to the question.

No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 6 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 4 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - The market end date is April 18, 2027, but the fallback resolution deadline is June 30, 2027 11:59 PM ET — these two dates are inconsistent and could cause confusion about when resolution occurs. - The phrase 'a consensus of credible reporting may also be used' is subjective and undefined, leaving discretion to the resolver about what constitutes credible reporting or consensus. - The election date is described as 'currently expected' in April 2027, meaning it could change, and the market does not specify a primary round date with precision. - No explicit threshold is defined for what counts as 'appearing on the ballot' if the Constitutional Council list is not published — physical ballot appearance could be ambiguous in edge cases. ## Publication history - Published 11 November 2026; research dated 11 November 2026. - Published 3 November 2026; research dated 1 November 2026. - Published 30 October 2026; research dated 29 October 2026. ## Since the previous brief Compared with research dated 1 November 2026.
