3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will United Russia (ER) gain the most seats in the next Russian parliamentary election? — resolved “Yes” on 21 Sept 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if United Russia wins more seats than any other party in the September 2026 State Duma election. The No outcome applies if another party gains the most seats. Readers often mistake the deadline for the election date itself, but the market resolves based on results known by September 30, 2027.
• Will United Russia (ER) win the most seats in the next Russian parliamentary election? — resolved “Yes” on 21 Sept 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if United Russia wins the most State Duma seats in the September 2026 election. The No outcome applies if any other party or coalition wins more seats than United Russia. Readers often mistake the deadline for the election date rather than the September 30, 2027 resolution cutoff, and they may overlook that official Russian government results override credible reporting in case of ambiguity.
• Russia Elections: United Russia Wins Every Region? — resolved “Yes” on 25 Sept 2026. The Yes outcome requires United Russia to receive the most valid votes in every single region where the Central Election Commission separately reports party-list results. The No outcome occurs if United Russia fails to lead in even one of these regions, or if definitive results are not available by September 30, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET.
