Change in the composition of the Supreme Court of the United States in 2026?
Market Rules
This event predicts whether the membership (composition) of the Supreme Court of the United States will change at any time between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026 (inclusive). For this market, a “change in composition” means that at least one Justice leaves the Court (e.g., resignation, retirement, death) and/or at least one new Justice is sworn in to fill a seat. The Primary Designated Source (PDS) will be official announcements and records from the Supreme Court of the United States regarding its membership (e.g., official website communications) and the official record of any swearing-in.
If at least one Justice leaves the Court and/or at least one new Justice is sworn in during this period, this market will resolve to "Yes". Otherwise, it will resolve to "No". Temporary changes due to recusals or other temporary absences will not count. If official Court information is delayed or unclear, the Secondary Confirmation Mechanism (SCM) will rely on consistent reporting from multiple major, editorially independent news organizations. Resolution will reflect the substantive membership change, not minor technicalities. If a definitive determination cannot be made, Futuur may cancel this market with a public explanation.
