2026 Midterms: House Turnout on Polymarket US
This market will settle to Yes if the total number of votes cast for candidates for U.S. Representative in the 2026 United States Midterm election is between 125 million and 130 million. Outcome sourced from the Clerk of the House. Only votes cast for candidates for U.S. Representative are included in the count. Votes for Delegates and the Resident Commissioner are excluded. If the turnout falls exactly on the boundary between two ranges, the Contract for which that value is the lower boundary will settle to Yes and all other Contracts will settle to No.

Resting (maker) orders pay nothing; orders that take liquidity pay the fee. Formula: 9.5% × price × (1 − price) per share on orders that take liquidity (accounts under $10,000 of 30-day volume; 6.95% in a new account's first week and above $250,000). Break-even assumes you hold to settlement; trading out early pays the fee twice.
