It resolves to No if she does not enter the country by that deadline. Readers often mistakenly count visits to Venezuelan airspace or maritime zones as a successful entry.
• María Corina Machado — the market puts it at 1%, closing 2 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if María Corina Machado effectively serves as Venezuela's head of state by the end of 2026.

• María Corina Machado — the market puts it at 3%, with $518 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if María Corina Machado officially holds the position of head of state of Venezuela on December 31, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET.
