Every site I've found at the top of Google search requires you to be a U.S. citizen. I am a Canadian citizen if that matters.

Don't know if Interwetten is available in North America; it would be my choice as a European. [1] Also, William Hill has a politics market.

PredictIt is a US-based prediction market, which should work in Noth America, but is not available for many jurisdictions in Europe. [2]

I think PredictIt is only available in the U.S., their identity verification requires a U.S. address.

Find a local bookmaker. One of those will very likely give you odds. But it won't be particularly good odds, seeing that it's a 'pick one of two' kind of bet.

The UK? Brits bet on anything.
