This market will resolve to "Yes" if a writ calling for a parliamentary by-election in the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Clacton is issued by the UK Clerk of the Crown in Chancery between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Writs issued in connection with a United Kingdom general election will not qualify. The issuance of a writ must be confirmed within the specified timeframe to qualify. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of the United Kingdom, including the UK Parliament and the relevant local government conducting the election; however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Farage's July 2026 resignation triggered a Clacton by-election he won back on 13 August with 63% of the vote, pausing a parliamentary standards inquiry into undeclared donations. Major parties boycotted the contest, viewing it as a procedural maneuver, and the investigation has since resumed without new developments forcing another vacancy. With the MP now re-seated and no scheduled events or health or legal triggers apparent before year-end, traders see limited likelihood of a second by-election in the remaining months of 2026.
