UK election called by ...?
Market Rules
This set of markets predicts the moment in which the date of the next United Kingdom general election will be officially announced. Each of the markets below covers one possible deadline; any number of these markets may resolve "Yes". A market resolves "Yes" if the date of the next UK general election is officially declared on or before the market's deadline. The election does not have to occur by the deadline — only the announcement of an official future date must be made by the market's deadline.
Informal speculation, leaks from anonymous sources, or non-official statements do not qualify. The declaration must be made publicly by the Prime Minister or another competent authority of the UK government (typically following the dissolution of Parliament under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022).
The Primary Designated Source is official UK government communications via gov.uk and the Prime Minister's Office (10 Downing Street), supplemented by a consensus of credible reporting.
