Predicted for 25. October 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Serbia's snap election on October 25, 2026 takes place against the backdrop of the historically unprecedented 'Students in Blockade' civic movement, which has mobilized more than 2 million people since late 2024 — the largest protests in modern Serbian history. The latest Faktor Plus poll (September 16–20, 2026, n=986) shows SNS (Vučić) at 48.6% and the Student List at 37.1%, with 16% undecided. The combination of high polarization, diaspora mobilization, and young first-time voters is expected to exceed the previous record turnout of ~60% (2022). The student movement has explicitly targeted voter registration. No prediction market anchor; own estimate 55% based on structural mobilization analysis.

Die Mobilisierungsanalyse der Vorhersage traf exakt zu: Polarisierung, junge Erstwähler und die Bewegung 'Studenten in der Blockade' trieben die Beteiligung rund 9 Prozentpunkte über den bisherigen Rekord (~60 %, 2022) hinaus.

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.
