The United States Congress provides the deciding record, which is the certification of the winner of the US Presidential Election at the January 6 joint session of Congress following the election specified in the market question, published in the Congressional Record the following business day. The outcome is Yes if the certified winner belongs to the party named in the market question and No otherwise. The outcome can be decided early, before certification, if the Associated Press, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have each called the race for the same candidate and no recount, legal challenge or other official proceeding that could affect the result is pending or announced; otherwise it stays open until those conditions are met or until certification, and resolution is scheduled for 9:00 AM CT on January 7, when the Congressional Record is published. If the Congressional Record is delayed, resolution waits until it is published.
