A by-election in the Samoan constituency of Vaimauga 3 is scheduled to take place on September 18, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the next Vaimauga 3 by-election to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa. If the result of this election isn't known by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the result of the election, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Office of the Electoral Commission of Samoa (https://www.oec.gov.ws/; https://www.facebook.com/oecsamoa).A crowded field of over two dozen candidates, including multiple independents and nominees from FAST and HRPP, has produced tightly balanced trader odds for the September 18 by-election in Samoa’s Vaimauga 3 constituency. The contest follows the June voiding of the May result after the Electoral Court convicted both the declared winner and the main challenger of bribery, upheld on appeal, barring them from standing again. Recent candidate confirmations feature repeat contenders such as Nonu Lemauga Laulu William Mauia (FAST), Vaiofuaiupolu Chris Faaofo (HRPP), Puaalatamai Tupuola Malaeulu Filemoni, and Sooialo Lemigaoitamalii Sooialo, alongside others with limited prior visibility in the seat. Nominations closed on August 28 with withdrawals permitted until September 4, leaving little time for consolidation. This fragmentation sustains even implied probabilities across most names while the leading listed contenders trade below even money, reflecting voter dispersion and the absence of a dominant local figure or party machine advantage ahead of polling.
