Description
NJ-11 Special Election in New Jersey centers on the margin of victory between the top two candidates on April 16, 2026. The margin is the absolute percentage difference of valid votes between first and second place, calculated from each candidate’s share of the total valid votes. If the reported value sits exactly on a bracket boundary, the higher bracket applies. Tie scenarios are resolved using the listed candidate last names in alphabetical order or by whether an unlisted candidate is involved, and if all top candidates are unlisted, the outcome is “Other.” Resolution relies on official counts, and a June 30, 2026 11:59 PM ET deadline applies if results are not known; recounts keep the market open until final counts are official. The consensus of official sources, including nj.gov, determines the resolution.

Rules
The special election for the seat for New Jersey's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives is currently scheduled to take place on April 16, 2026. This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the specified election. For the purpose of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first-place and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher placed bracket. If two or more candidates tie for the most valid votes in this election, and the tie is between two candidates listed, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the candidate whose listed last name comes first in alphabetical order. If the tie is between a listed candidate and an unlisted candidate, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the listed candidate. If the tie is between two or more unlisted candidates, this market will resolve to “Other.” This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official. If the results of the specified election are not known definitively by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official sources, including https://www.nj.gov/state/. If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.
