On March 31, 2026, Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” which directs the federal government to compile lists of verified U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state and restricts the distribution of mail-in ballots to individuals appearing on approved voter lists. This market will resolve to “Yes” if any US court blocks the implementation of any portion of the executive order titled “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections” in any part of the United States by April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Any official court action that temporarily halts or permanently blocks implementation of this executive order (e.g., a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, stay, or substantially similar order) will qualify. Filings, hearings, or statements without an operative order will not qualify. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from relevant courts, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.President Trump's executive order, signed March 31 to restrict mail-in voting by mandating verified citizen lists via DHS and USPS for absentee ballots ahead of 2026 midterms, faces immediate legal opposition driving the 89.5% trader consensus for a block in April. Democratic National Committee, Democratic Governors Association, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries filed suit in D.C. federal court on April 1, alleging unconstitutionality as elections remain state prerogatives. Multiple secretaries of state and governors, including Wisconsin's Tony Evers, vowed challenges, echoing historical injunctions against federal election overreach. Traders anticipate swift preliminary injunctions from sympathetic judges, though Supreme Court review or compliance by some states could alter outcomes before month-end.
