Predicted for 27. October 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The four Knesset elections since 2019 all saw turnout between 67.4% (2021, historic low due to Arab voter fatigue) and 70.6% (2022). The current wartime context (Iran conflict, ongoing security threats) historically mobilises broader population segments; the 2022 election with 70.6% also took place under elevated security conditions. A figure above 68% was achieved in 3 of the last 4 elections. Downside risk: persistent Arab community mobilisation challenges or security concerns in border areas could dampen participation.

Verdict: Hit
Die Wahlbeteiligung bei der Knesset-Wahl am 27. Oktober 2026 betrug laut Zentralem Wahlausschuss Israels 77,7 % – deutlich über dem Schwellenwert von 68,0 %. Es war die höchste Beteiligung seit 1999 (damals 78,7 %). Treiber waren eine außergewöhnlich hohe arabische Wahlbeteiligung (~80 %), Soldaten-Mobilisierung und die sicherheitspolitische Gesamtlage.

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

Ukrainian, US, and Russian negotiators convene November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. Russia conducted large-scale long-range strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and logistics hubs on November 3–4; Ukraine responded with drone strikes on the Ryazan refinery. Positions on territory and security guarantees remain far apart. No Polymarket or Kalshi market covers this specific event; historical base rate for failure of comparable trilateral talks: >80%.

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.
