At least four South Korean parliamentary seats will be contested in by-elections on June 3, 2026, held alongside the nationwide local elections taking place on the same day. Re-elections are equivalent to by-elections for the purposes of this market. This market will resolve according to the number of National Assembly seats won by the Democratic Party of Korea (DP) in parliamentary by-elections scheduled for June 3, 2026. Any seat won by the Democratic Party of Korea in these elections will count, regardless of the party that controlled the relevant seat prior to these elections. Seats uncontested during the June 3 election will not have any impact on the resolution of this market. If the results of these elections are not known by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to the lowest range bracket. This market's resolution will be based solely on the number of seats won by the specified party in these elections, not any coalition or alliance of which it may be a part. This market will resolve based on the results of the elections as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the South Korean government, specifically the National Election Commission (http://nec.go.kr/site/nec/main.do). Note: this market includes any National Assembly seats contested in by-elections scheduled for June 3, 2026, not just elections which are scheduled as of this market’s creation.The ruling Democratic Party of Korea enters the June 3 by-elections for up to 14 National Assembly seats with substantial momentum from its strong performance in concurrent local contests and President Lee Jae-myung’s elevated approval ratings near 60 percent. Recent polling shows DP candidates leading in key mayoral races such as Seoul and Busan, reflecting voter preferences for the incumbent party amid ongoing legislative dynamics. These factors have positioned traders to assign the highest implied probability to the party capturing 10 or more seats, consistent with historical patterns where ruling parties perform well in mid-term by-elections held alongside broader local votes. Scheduled candidate registrations and party rallies have further reinforced expectations of limited opposition gains in the contested districts.
