Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the headline's regional context for a national outcome or miss the strict deadline.
• AfD — the market puts it at 81%, closing 25 Mar 2030. The market resolves to Yes if the Alternative for Germany party wins the next German federal election. It resolves to No if any other party wins that election. Readers often mistake this for a prediction of which party will win the next regional or European election, but only the Bundestag vote counts.
