Resolution criteria on PolyGram: Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Russia in September 2026. This market will resolve according to the political party that wins the second greatest number of seats in the next Russian State Duma election. If the results are not known definitively by September 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The named parties or coalitions will be primarily ranked by the number of seats won in the specified election. If two or more parties are tied on seats, ties will be broken by the total number of valid votes received, with higher vote totals ranking higher. If parties remain tied, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the listed party abbreviations.
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.

Russia will hold State Duma elections in September 2026, with this market tracking which party or coalition finishes second in total seat count. The Russian electoral system combines proportional representation with single-mandate districts, making seat distribution outcomes dependent on both party list performance and regional competition. Settlement hinges on official results from the Central Election Commission, with a backstop resolution date of 30 September 2027 should definitive outcomes remain unclear.
Historical precedent suggests United Russia, the dominant pro-Kremlin party, typically secures the largest seat share, with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia competing for second place. In the 2021 Duma election, United Russia won 324 seats, the KPRF took 57, and the LDPR secured 21, though the 2021 cycle saw significant electoral volatility following regional protests. The second-place outcome depends heavily on whether the Kremlin permits meaningful competition or consolidates support further around United Russia, and whether opposition parties can coordinate effectively despite legal constraints.
Traders should monitor announcements regarding electoral thresholds, candidate registration deadlines (typically set months before polling), and any changes to the mixed electoral system. Geopolitical developments affecting Russia's domestic political stability, sanctions regimes, and military commitments could influence both turnout and party strategy. No live price has formed on Polymarket's order book yet, meaning the crowd's implied probability remains unestablished; early traders will effectively set the reference point for subsequent price discovery.
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.
The mechanics for trading "Russia Parliamentary Election: 2nd Place" are the same as any other PolyGram political event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$15K in lifetime turnover and $44K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for politics contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.
Last 24 hours alone saw $67 in turnover, consistent with the market's lifetime daily-average pace.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a 2-hour dispute window opens, and if uncontested the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token holders.
This prediction market is scheduled to close on 20 September 2026. After the resolving event occurs, settlement typically clears within 24 hours once the UMA optimistic oracle confirms the outcome. All payouts are in USDC on the Polygon network.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
