This market will resolve according to the number of seats in the US House of Representatives won by the Democratic Party in Virginia in the 2026 United States midterm election. All Virginia US House of Representatives elections held as part of the 2026 United States midterm election that elect voting members and determine representation in the upcoming 120th congress are included. Special elections to fill a vacancy for the remainder of an unexpired term are not included, whether or not held concurrently with the 2026 United States midterm election. Runoffs for qualifying elections will determine attribution of the relevant seat. Seats are attributed to the party under which the member was elected. If a member-elect changes party affiliation or vacates their seat after the date of the 2026 United States midterm election, the seat is attributed to the party under which the member was elected. Members of the House elected as independents who formally caucus, or who announce their intent to caucus, with a party prior to the date of the 2026 United States midterm election are included in that party’s count. If the caucus decisions of relevant members of the US House of Representatives elected as independents cannot be determined as of the date of the 2026 United States midterm election, this market may remain open until the earlier of (i) an announcement from the relevant members of their intents to caucus, or (ii) January 4th, 11:59 PM ET of the following calendar year. If no such announcement is made by January 4th, 11:59 PM ET of the following calendar year, the member will not count towards the seat count of any party. The resolution sources for this market will be official information from relevant state electoral authorities, the United States Congress, and a consensus of credible reporting.Virginia’s 2026 House contests operate under the existing 2021 district lines after the state Supreme Court invalidated the Democratic-backed redistricting referendum in May, with the U.S. Supreme Court declining further intervention. Democrats enter with six seats and Republicans five, but two Republican-held districts remain competitive under current boundaries. In the 1st, incumbent Rob Wittman faces prosecutor Shannon Taylor in a Lean Republican contest, while the 2nd pits Jen Kiggans against former Representative Elaine Luria in a Toss-up rated by multiple forecasters. The 7th is rated Likely Democratic. National midterm dynamics favoring the out-party, combined with limited true battlegrounds and recent primaries, produce trader consensus clustering on seven or eight Democratic seats. Shifts in these two races, changes in the generic ballot, or turnout variations in suburban areas could separate the leading outcomes before November 3.
