A general election is scheduled to be held in New Zealand on November 7, 2026. This market will resolve according to the political party that wins the second-greatest number of seats in the New Zealand House of Representatives as a result of this election. If the results of this election are not known definitively by October 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The named parties or coalitions will be primarily ranked by the number of seats won in the specified election. If two or more parties are tied on seats, ties will be broken by the total number of valid party list votes received, with higher vote totals ranking higher. If parties remain tied, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the listed party name. This market will resolve to the party that occupies the second-highest finishing position after applying this ranking. This market's resolution will be based solely on the number of seats won by the named party in the New Zealand House of Representatives in this election. This market will resolve based on the results of this election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results reported by New Zealand government sources such as the New Zealand Electoral Commission (https://elections.nz/).Recent polls, including Talbot Mills (April 16) and 1News-Verian (April 11-15), show Labour leading with 36-37% party vote under MMP, positioning National as the likely runner-up at 29-30%, though trader consensus prices National at 65% for outright second place. New Zealand First's surge to 10-15%—its highest since 2017—has narrowed the gap, boosting its odds to 21% amid coalition tensions and populist appeal, while Labour's 19% reflects risks of slipping if momentum falters. National's sub-30% support stems from economic fragility, PM Luxon's dipping ratings, and policy debates like superannuation age hikes. With the November 7 election approaching, volatility persists in this fragmented field favoring coalition negotiations.
