A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Clacton is expected to be held soon following the announced resignation of incumbent Nigel Farage. 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 margin 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 election results are not known definitively by December 31, 2026, 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 official election results as published by Tendring District Council (https://www.tendringdc.gov.uk/) and the UK Parliament (https://www.parliament.uk/). 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.Farage’s resignation as Reform UK MP for Clacton, announced on 7 July 2026 amid parliamentary scrutiny over undeclared donations, has triggered the by-election he immediately pledged to re-contest. With Labour, the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Greens and Restore Britain all declining to stand, the contest narrows to Farage against novelty candidate Count Binface and minor others. This unusual structure, combined with the constituency’s strong 2024 Reform vote share, keeps margins uncertain as traders weigh potential protest turnout or low participation against Farage’s established local base. Upcoming hustings, any fresh financial disclosures, and final turnout figures could shift probabilities among the closely priced margin bands.
