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.With over 95% of votes counted from the April 16 special election in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District, Democrat Analilia Mejia leads Republican Joe Hathaway by just under 20 points—driving trader consensus to price a 20-25% margin of victory at 85.5% probability. Pre-election polls, including a March GBAO survey showing Mejia up 53-36, aligned with the district's Democratic tilt (Kamala Harris +9, Joe Biden +17 in 2024; prior Rep. Mikie Sherrill +15). Early returns reflected blowouts up to 27 points in Democratic strongholds like Essex County, narrowing in suburban Jewish communities amid Mejia's progressive Israel positions, but high Democratic turnout secured the hold for the seat vacated by Gov. Sherrill. Final certification through January 2027 will resolve the market.
