A dedicated election leaderboard, separate from your weekly game.

The Clarus 2026 Midterms Special covers U.S. House and Senate predictions, including control of Congress, race winners and margins. Entries close November 3, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. Eastern (the end of November 2). Individual questions may close earlier. Confirmed results can settle later, including recounts or runoffs; there is no automatic weekly Sunday cutoff for this special.

Election special rules

Entry closes at the end of November 2. Results may take longer, including recounts and runoffs.

READ THE RULES BEFORE LOCKING YOUR SEVEN

Entry deadline

Lock your Seven before November 3, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. Eastern (the end of November 2). A question may stop accepting picks earlier if it becomes unavailable or its outcome is already known. The server checks availability and deadlines when you submit.

Your Election Seven

Choose exactly seven different questions, each with a YES or NO answer. Select one Crystal Ball and a different Backup Ball from those seven. One locked election entry is allowed per account. Locked picks and multiplier choices cannot be changed.

Points

The board displays the base points for each answer. Less likely answers earn more points when correct. Points can change before submission. Your accepted base points are frozen when your entry is locked; later price changes do not change those base points.

Crystal Ball and Backup Ball

A correct Crystal Ball earns double its frozen base points. The Backup Ball takes over the double-points role only if the Crystal Ball is VOID. A wrong Crystal Ball does not activate the Backup Ball. Incorrect and VOID picks earn zero points; pending picks have no awarded points yet.

Settlement and source rules

Each question follows its displayed Polymarket resolution rules. Clarus settles a question only after the source reports a final resolved result and a supported payout: YES, NO or an equal 50–50 payout treated as VOID. Changed source rules or unsupported results are held for review rather than automatically scored.

Settlement window

The entry deadline is not a settlement deadline. Unresolved questions remain pending after Election Day, including during recounts and runoffs. Some questions may remain pending until June 30, 2027 under their individual source rules; that date is not a universal cutoff. There is no automatic Sunday or contest-wide VOID deadline.

Standings

Rankings use the total points awarded to your Election Seven. Pending questions contribute no points to the displayed total. Scores and positions remain provisional until every selected question has settled. Tied totals share a rank. Election points are separate from weekly and season points.

Private leagues

Your same locked Election Seven counts in every election league you join. Create or join leagues before November 3, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. Eastern. You can join before locking your Seven. League members without an entry appear with zero points and a no-entry label. Private league standings are available to members.

Free to play

No money is wagered. Points have no cash value. Clarus is an independent forecasting game and is not an official election service or a Polymarket-affiliated product.
