Resolution criteria on PolyGram: Colombia's presidential elections are scheduled for May 31, 2026, and a second round (if required) on June 21, 2026, in case no candidate secures more than 50% of the valid votes in the first round. This market will resolve according to the listed candidate who receives the second-most valid votes in the first round of this election. The named candidates will be primarily ranked by the number of valid votes received in the specified election. If two or more candidates are tied on valid votes, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the candidates' last names. This market will resolve to the candidate that occupies the second-highest finishing position after applying this ranking.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.

Colombia will hold its presidential election on 31 May 2026, with a potential runoff on 21 June if no candidate achieves an outright majority. This market resolves to whichever candidate finishes second in first-round voting, ranked by valid votes cast, with alphabetical ordering applied to break ties. The current 0% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects either extremely tight pricing around specific candidates or minimal liquidity in this particular contract, suggesting the market has not yet attracted substantial trader interest in establishing a consensus view on the runner-up position.
Colombian presidential elections typically feature fragmented fields with multiple viable candidates, making second-place finishes genuinely competitive rather than predetermined. The 2022 election saw Gustavo Petro win with 50.4% in the first round, narrowly avoiding a runoff, whilst Rodolfo Hernández finished second with 29.8%. Historical patterns suggest second place often ranges between 25–35% of the vote, indicating material uncertainty about which candidate will occupy that position in 2026.
Key catalysts include the formal candidate registration deadline, polling trends as the election approaches, and any major political realignments or coalition formations among centre-right and conservative factions. Recent Colombian political dynamics show fragmentation within opposition blocs, with multiple potential challengers to Petro's governing coalition. Traders should monitor campaign announcements, regional endorsements, and any shifts in polling aggregates throughout 2025 and early 2026, as these will substantially influence which candidate consolidates second-place support.
