TheDemocracyDraftbyOath

an election fantasy league.

Draft candidates from Oath’s most competitive 2026 Senate, House, and down ballot races, weighted by likelihood ratings.

The highest overall point scorer wins $4,000! It’s completely free to play.

The Basics:

  • You’ll get 100 draft credits to spend. Prices are based on likelihood, and scores are too: the bigger the upset, the bigger the payoff.
  • Recruit your political friends to join a passphrase-protected side-league and compete in your own pool.
  • You have until Oct. 20 to submit.
  • Slates are locked upon submission.
  • Standings will update starting on election night Nov. 3, and will go until all races are called.

Only one entry per email address allowed.

Other players see you as your first name and last initial (e.g. Daley G.).

Side-League (optional)

In addition to competing for the overall grand prize, you can simultaneously compete against your political pals in a side-league. Choose a unique name for your side-league and enter it below along with a passphrase when each of you registers. The passphrase is what keeps your league yours: anyone using the same league name must enter the matching passphrase to get in, so another group can’t wander into your pool by picking the same name. When you check your overall standings, you’ll also be able to view your side-league’s rankings. Side-league names can only use letters, numbers, and spaces and must be spelled the exact same way by everyone who registers with it.

First person to use a league name sets its passphrase. Everyone else must enter it exactly to join.

The draft board

Here’s what drafting looks like. Each race is priced by how likely it is: safe picks wager little and score modestly, long shots wager more and score big. Pick a side to stake it, tap the same side again to drop it. Register above and the full board is yours.
