As of 12 October 2026, 09:19 UTC, versus prices Yes at a 14% chance and No at 86%.
YES if the Democratic nominee finishes first in the 2026 US House election in Connecticut's 1st congressional district (CT-01), expected on 3 November 2026, and wins by 40 to 45 points; if the Democrat wins by any other margin, or the Republican nominee or anyone else finishes first, NO. The margin is the gap in percentage points between the vote shares of the first- and second-placed candidates, each share being that candidate's valid votes divided by all valid votes cast in the race. A margin landing exactly on the edge between two bands counts in the higher band, so each band runs from its lower edge up to just below its upper edge. The Democrat means the Democratic Party's nominee, including a replacement named before election day; independents and minor-party candidates never count as the Democrat. In a tie for first place, only the Democrat's lowest band (under 10 points) can be YES: that happens when the Democratic nominee ties with the Republican nominee and has the alphabetically earlier ballot surname, or ties with a candidate who is not a party nominee; every other tie is NO. The vote count decides once it is official; if a recount starts before that, settlement waits until the recount ends and the result is official. If the result is still not definitively known by 30 June 2027 at 11:59 PM ET, NO. Official results certified by Connecticut's state election authority decide, with overwhelming agreement among reliable news reports as backup.
