Russian State Duma election (September 20, 2026): Official voter turnout exceeds 60.0% of registered voters (confirmed by the Central Election Commission of Russia or Reuters by September 21, 2026)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 15. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
68%

The 2021 State Duma election recorded an official turnout of 51.72% — a figure the Kremlin viewed as critically low. Since then, 3-day voting has been institutionalised, e-voting (u-Golosovaniye) rolled out nationwide, and intensive loyalty campaigns run under the framing of the Ukraine war. The 2024 presidential election officially hit 77.4%. Parliamentary elections historically generate less mobilisation than presidential contests; a reported figure between 60% and 70% appears realistic. Polymarket and Metaculus carry no direct quotes. Estimate based on historical Russian election data (CEC 2021, Reuters 2024, OSCE/ODIHR reports). No contradiction with open predictions on party vote shares.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Zentralwahlkommission Russland (CEC): Duma-Wahl 2021 – Beteiligung 51,72 %
  • Reuters: Russland Präsidentschaftswahl März 2024 – offizielle Beteiligung 77,4 %
  • OSCE/ODIHR: Wahlbeobachtungsbericht Russland Staatsduma-Wahl 2021
  • Russisches Innenministerium / Regierung.ru: e-Voting-Ausbau ŭ-Golosovaniye 2025–2026
Verdict: Miss
Die offizielle Wahlbeteiligung bei der russischen Staatsduma-Wahl (18.–20. September 2026) wurde von der Zentralwahlkommission mit 59,80 % angegeben – knapp unter der Schwelle von 60,0 %. Die Vorhersage verlangte ein Überschreiten von 60,0 %, was um 0,2 Prozentpunkte verfehlt wurde. Quelle: Interfax/RIA (CEC-Angaben, 21.

Donald Trump publicly questions the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm results and signals legal challenges by November 15, 2026

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).

Ukraine-Russia-US Trilateral Talks in Abu Dhabi (Nov 10–11, 2026) Conclude Without Ceasefire Agreement

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

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.
