Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the FL-13 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.
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.

Florida's 13th congressional district will elect a representative to the U.S. House in the 2026 midterm elections on 4 November. The current order book on Polymarket implies a 67% probability that the winning candidate will be affiliated with the Democratic Party, with Republican affiliation priced at 33%. This pricing reflects the district's recent electoral history and demographic composition, though the seat has shown volatility in recent cycles.
FL-13 has been competitive territory in recent elections. The district elected Democrat Kathy Castor in 2022 with approximately 57% of the vote in a presidential year, but midterm electorates typically differ from presidential-year compositions. Historical precedent suggests that districts with Democratic incumbents facing midterm headwinds often see tighter margins or shifts. The current 67% Democratic probability reflects some expectation of typical midterm dynamics whilst acknowledging the district's Democratic lean relative to national averages.
Key variables for traders to monitor include candidate announcements, which typically accelerate through 2025 and into early 2026, and any redistricting challenges that might alter the district's boundaries before the election cycle formally begins. Fundraising disclosures and early polling data will provide concrete signals about candidate viability and voter sentiment. National political conditions—particularly approval ratings and economic indicators closer to November 2026—will likely drive significant repricing, as midterm outcomes historically correlate strongly with the sitting president's popularity.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
