Resolution Criteria
This market will resolve to the first year listed (2028, 2032, or 2036) in which a woman wins the Republican presidential primary process and becomes the party's nominee. Resolution will be based on the official Republican National Convention nomination.
The market will resolve N/A if:
No woman wins the Republican nomination in any of the listed years
The Republican Party ceases to exist or fundamentally changes its nomination process
The U.S. presidential election system undergoes fundamental changes that eliminate primary elections
For resolution purposes:
The candidate must be legally and publicly identified as a woman at the time of nomination
The candidate must win the majority of delegates and be formally nominated at the Republican National Convention
Temporary or acting nominations do not count
Write-in campaigns or third-party nominations do not count
Considerations
Historical precedent suggests this would be a significant shift - no woman has ever won the Republican nomination
The Republican Party has traditionally had fewer women candidates in primaries compared to the Democratic Party
Primary dynamics can change significantly between election cycles, affecting the viability of different candidates
Party demographics and voter preferences may evolve over the specified timeframe
