The Rio de Janeiro gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place in Brazil on October 4, 2026, with a runoff on October 25, 2026, if no candidate receives a majority of the valid votes in the first round. This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins this election. Temporary, interim, or placeholder governors appointed by any means before the specified election will not be considered. If the result of this election isn't known by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the result of the election, 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 Brazilian government, specifically the Superior Electoral Court (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, TSE) (e.g., www.tse.jus.br/eleicoes/resultados-eleicoes).Eduardo Paes (PSD) holds an 81% implied probability in the Rio de Janeiro governor race because multiple September 2026 polls, including Datafolha and Prefab Future, show him leading first-round intentions at 37–43% with double-digit margins over Douglas Ruas (PL) at 19–25% and Anthony Garotinho (Republicanos) near 9–10%. His advantage stems from high name recognition as a four-time former Rio mayor, endorsements from President Lula, and consistent leads across voter segments in both first- and second-round simulations. Ruas has narrowed the gap slightly since August through PL alignment and evangelical support, yet remains well behind in head-to-head matchups. Other registered candidates register below 3% and face structural barriers to reaching the runoff on October 25. Traders' pricing aligns with these polling trends and the absence of major late disruptions ahead of the October 4 first round.
