How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- 'Next Venezuelan presidential election' is ambiguous — it is unclear whether this refers to a regularly scheduled election, a snap election, or any officially called presidential election
- 'Scheduled' is not precisely defined — it is unclear whether a formal decree, an announcement by the electoral authority (CNE), or a government statement suffices
- The term 'before 2030' is ambiguous regarding whether January 1, 2030 itself qualifies or only dates strictly before that year
- Resolution relies on 'consensus of credible reporting' which is subjective and lacks a defined threshold or list of qualifying outlets
- Timezone handling: market end date is 2027-04-01T03:59:00Z which corresponds to 11:59 PM ET on March 31, 2027 — consistent but worth noting for daylight saving time accuracy
