Live · $4,028 traded · listed on Kalshi

## About

If Northern Ireland agrees to or announces a formal decision by the UK Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to hold a border poll on Irish reunification before Jan 1, 2030, then the market resolves to Yes.

An agreement or announcement qualifies if it involves any of the following:

Formal signing of treaties
Parliamentary approval with binding effect
Official ratification
Formal commitment by the head of state/government with constitutional authority
Official statements by authorized ministers
Official press releases
Formal declarations during government proceedings
Official statements to international bodies

Phased implementation announcements and multi-party agreements where the country is a signatory also qualify.

The following do NOT qualify:

Preliminary discussions
Conditional agreements contingent on circumstances
Opposition party statements
Leaked documents
Think-tank recommendations
General aspirations without specific commitment
Draft legislation without approval
Regional actions (unless specified)
Retraction of previously announced commitments

A border poll is a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should cease to be part of the United Kingdom and form part of a united Ireland. A formal order directing the poll or an unequivocal official announcement recording the Secretary of State's decision to hold it qualifies. A polling date is not required, and voting may occur after January 1, 2030. Party pledges, requests, consultations, preparations, and general statements of intent do not qualify. Statements by the Northern Ireland Executive, Irish Government, or another official do not qualify unless they officially record the Secretary of State's decision.
