A by-election for the seat of Farrer in the Australian House of Representatives is expected to take place on May 9, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the by-election for the seat of Farrer in the Australian House of Representatives. If voting does not take place in this election or the election results are not definitively known by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on the official election results published by the Australian Government, specifically the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) (https://www.aec.gov.au/).One Nation candidate David Farley leads trader consensus at 70.5% implied probability for the May 9 Farrer by-election, triggered by Liberal MP Sussan Ley's resignation, due to his primary vote edge in March polls from the Australia Institute and strong Coalition preference flows—Liberals and Nationals announced last week they will direct votes to him over independent Michelle Milthorpe. Milthorpe, who eroded the Liberal margin in 2025, holds 27% amid heavy campaign spending but faces preference headwinds despite her local profile as a teacher. Minor candidates like Liberal's Raissa Butkowski trail far behind, with the preferential voting system amplifying Farley's position in this rural New South Wales contest. Late revelations of Farley's past Labor outreach have not shifted odds significantly.
