On August 18, 2025, President Donald J. Trump announced his commitment to eliminate mail-in voting and voting machines in U.S. elections, ahead of the 2026 midterms. This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump signs any federal legislation or performs any executive action that inhibits mail-in voting or voting machines from use for the 2026 midterm election by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Any executive action or legislation that restricts, limits, or prohibits the use of mail-in voting or voting machines in any way will qualify, even if the action is delayed, suspended, or subsequently blocked by judicial or other actions. This market’s primary resolution source will be official information from the Trump administration; however, a consensus of credible information from major news outlets or government statements will also be used.President Trump's executive order signed on March 31, directing the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Postal Service to create a national list of verified eligible voters and restrict absentee ballot delivery to preapproved individuals with barcode tracking, has driven trader consensus to near-certainty on a "Yes" outcome. This action, aimed at ensuring election integrity for the 2026 midterm elections, inhibits mail-in voting by threatening federal funding for noncompliant states and authorizing prosecutions of officials sending ballots to ineligible voters. While Democratic-led states like Arizona and Oregon have vowed lawsuits citing constitutional overreach on state-run elections, prior court blocks of similar orders did not negate the initial executive action, solidifying high implied probabilities absent rescission or redefinition by June 30.
