·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
In the 2021 Duma election, official turnout was 51.72% (three voting days). In the 2024 presidential election, the Central Election Commission reported 77.4% — a figure significantly inflated under wartime conditions. The 2026 Duma election runs again over three days (September 18–20) during the ongoing war, with political pressure on state employees and mobilized participation. Forecasts point to an officially supported turnout of between 57% and 72%. Probability of the official figure exceeding the 60% threshold estimated at approximately 62% — significantly above the 2021 level, but more moderate than the 2024 presidential election. No Polymarket data available for this specific event.

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).

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.
