The selected quote should not be treated as an exhaustive ranking of all outcomes, and each contract’s own terms remain relevant. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/abbotsford-mission-by-election-winner)[2](https://polymarket.com/event/abbotsford-mission-by-election-winner/will-pam-alexis-win-the-next-abbotsford-mission-by-election) The API reported event-level liquidity of $48,180 at retrieval. That aggregate does not establish the executable depth or spread of this individual position. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/abbotsford-mission-by-election-winner) ## The evidence that could change the reading A general-election result in the constituency is not automatically the result of the by-election described by the contract. The useful checks are elections bc’s cancellation notice; polymarket clarification for the canceled contest. Those checks connect the public story to the settlement condition instead of treating attention as confirmation.

The contract’s definitive-results fallback is March 31, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. ET; cancellation requires reading the contract’s actual clarification and resolution state.
