BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) fails to clear the 5% threshold at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026) and does not enter the Schwerin parliament

Current polls for the MV state election consistently show BSW at approximately 4%, clearly below the 5% threshold (bundestagwahlumfrage.de, dawum.de, t-online.de). The FDP is at 2–3%, also without a realistic chance. Historically, a catch-up of more than one percentage point for a minor party in the final weeks is possible but unlikely. Confirmed by Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state electoral authority or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026.

Die Linke receives more than 9.5% of votes cast in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026, confirmed by state returning officer MV or tagesschau.de by September 21)

The PolitPro election trend for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern places Die Linke at 11.2% (September 2026). A Forsa poll (via Yahoo News/Tagesspiegel) confirms a level around 11%. In the last state election in 2021, Die Linke received 9.9%. In eastern German states, Die Linke has historically stronger roots than nationally; MV was long a Linke stronghold. The > 9.5% threshold is about 1.7 percentage points below the poll average, providing a buffer against systematic polling overestimation. Existing Cassandra open predictions for the MV election cover AfD, SPD, CDU, and BSW – Die Linke is not explicitly covered as a party. Aggregated bookmaker odds for individual party percentages not available.

Berlin state election (September 20, 2026): Die Linke receives more than 16.0% of valid votes cast

Current polls show Die Linke at 19% (INSA, August 7–13, 2026) and 21% (Civey, August 5, 2026)—both well above the 16.0% threshold. Berlin is historically a Die Linke stronghold. The 2021 result was 14.0% (during a period of governing coalition decline); since then polls have recovered significantly. A drop below 16% would require a 3+ percentage point polling error, which is rare in German state elections. No Polymarket market for Berlin available.

Berlin state election (September 20, 2026): CDU becomes the largest party in the Berlin House of Representatives

CDU under lead candidate Stefan Evers polls at 19–20% (INSA: 20%, Civey: 19%), narrowly ahead of Die Linke (19–21%) and AfD (17–18%). The race is extremely tight—all three parties within 3 percentage points. CDU benefits from strong turnout mobilization and Evers' visibility as former parliamentary leader. In a three-way horse race, CDU becoming largest party represents a ~40–45% scenario. Coalition formation (CDU+Greens+SPD or Linke+Greens+SPD) depends more on the bloc balance than CDU margin. No Polymarket market available.

Bündnis 90/Die Grünen pass the 5% threshold at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026, confirmed via Landeswahlleiter MV or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current INSA polls (August/September 2026) show Grünen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern at exactly 5% — right at the threshold. This makes the prediction close to a coin flip, priced at slightly below 50%. In eastern Germany, the Greens historically face polling compression: at the 2021 MV state election they received 4.5% and missed entry. East German polls tend to slightly overestimate the Greens. At the same time, the federal trend since the Ampel coalition shows a slightly stabilizing Green core electorate. Net probability: 42%.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026): CDU wins more than 10.0% of votes cast (confirmed by Landeswahlleiter MV or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current polls for the MV 2026 election place CDU at only 9–10% (Insa August 2026: 10%, Infratest dimap July 2026: 9%), well below the 2021 result of 13.3%. CDU in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is structurally weakened, as the AfD (forecast >32%) has absorbed former CDU voters and the SPD still dominates despite losses. The 10% threshold sits at the upper end of the polling range; late swing and mobilisation effects can add 1–2 percentage points. A result just below 10% remains a scenario.

AfD achieves more than 32.0% of votes cast in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026, confirmed by MV state election officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current polls for the MV state election: Forsa/Ostsee-Zeitung (September 2, 2026) shows AfD at 37%; Infratest dimap/NDR at 35%. The gap between the polling center (~36%) and the 32% threshold is ~4 percentage points. Even with a negative polling error of 3–4 points (historical maximum in eastern German elections), missing the 32% mark is very unlikely. In MV in 2021 the AfD won 17.7%; it has massively gained in national polls since then. No direct Polymarket equivalent found.

Berlin state election (September 20, 2026): AfD achieves more than 14.0% of votes cast (confirmed by Berlin state election officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Berlin polls consistently show the AfD at 17–19% (Wikipedia/wahlrecht.de overviews, as of August/September 2026). The 14% threshold is ~3–5 points below the polling center and would be very unlikely to miss even with an unusually large negative polling error. The Polymarket market for Berlin AfD (9.3% market price) most likely refers to 'AfD becoming the strongest party' — a much higher bar. The open prediction 'CDU strongest party' is consistent with AfD at 17–19%.

Berlin House of Representatives election (September 20, 2026): SPD wins more than 12.0% of votes cast (confirmed by Landeswahlleiter Berlin or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

PolitPro trend shows SPD at 12.8%, Infratest-dimap at 13%, Forsa at 15% – polling average ~13.3%. Berlin is historically an SPD stronghold (always above 15% since 1989), even though the party currently ranks 5th in 2026 (behind Linke 20%, CDU 19%, AfD 18%, Grüne 15%). A sub-12% result would be a historically unprecedented Berlin SPD collapse. Risk comes from polling error (±2–3pp) and potential turnout weakness. No exchange market found for this threshold; calibrated at 72%.

SPD achieves more than 27.0% of votes at Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026)

The SPD polls at 30.0% ahead of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026) per PolitPro.eu/Wikipedia (as of September 2026; AfD 35.9%, Linke 11%, CDU 9%, Greens 5%). MV is traditionally an SPD stronghold (2021: 39.6%). The threshold of 27.0% sits 3 points below the poll average. Assuming N(30; 3.5²): P(X>27) ≈ 80%. No specific Polymarket market available. Risk: a major AfD surge due to local events could demobilize SPD voters; structural SPD weakness nationwide.

Berlin state election (September 20, 2026): BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) fails to clear the 5% threshold and does not enter the Abgeordnetenhaus (confirmed by Landeswahlleiter Berlin or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

BSW polls at just 3.4% per politpro.eu aggregate (as of September 2, 2026) in Berlin — around 1.6 percentage points below the 5% threshold. No recent Berlin poll shows BSW exceeding 4%. Given stable polling underperformance and typical Berlin polling tolerance (±1.5pp, 4 weeks before the election), entry into the Abgeordnetenhaus is very unlikely.

FDP polls at 3.1% per politpro.eu aggregate (September 2, 2026) in Berlin — nearly 2 percentage points below the 5% threshold. Following the federal coalition collapse in 2024 and poor results in the 2025 federal election, FDP is in structural crisis. In Berlin, FDP has consistently failed to mobilize beyond single-digit territory in recent years. No Polymarket market for Berlin-FDP.

AfD becomes the strongest party in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026, confirmed by state electoral officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current polls (Infratest dimap Aug 26-31; Forsa Aug 21-27; INSA Aug 4-11; weighted average as of September 3, 2026) show AfD at 35.9% vs SPD at 30.0%. The ~6 percentage point lead is stable across pollsters. This would be the first time since the founding of the Federal Republic that a far-right party wins a state election in MV.

Berlin state election (September 20, 2026): Bündnis 90/Die Grünen win more than 14.0% of votes (confirmed by Berlin electoral officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current Berlin polls (late August / early September 2026) show Grüne at 15-17%, comfortably above the 14.0% prediction threshold. The Greens have structural strength in Berlin (urban young voters in Pankow, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Charlottenburg). Despite some erosion from the 2023 result of 18.9%, falling below 14% when three independent polls show 15%+ is unlikely. No Polymarket market for Berlin party results found.

Die Linke receives more than 19.0% of votes at the Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026) and becomes the strongest party (confirmed by Landeswahlleiter Berlin or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current Berlin polls (September 2026) show Die Linke at 20% narrowly ahead of CDU (19.7%), AfD (17.8%), Greens (17%), and SPD (12.1%). BSW (3.7%) and FDP (3.1%) are below the threshold. Polymarket gives Die Linke ~43–44% as the most likely election winner — an increase after the withdrawal of CDU top candidate Kai Wegner. The gap of only 0.3 percentage points to CDU is within the polling margin of error (±2–3%), creating substantial uncertainty. The dual condition (>19.0% AND strongest party) raises the bar: a strong CDU or AfD result on election day could displace Die Linke from the top spot even if it achieves >19%. Compatible with all existing Berlin predictions on the platform.

BSW (Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance) wins more than 7.0% of votes at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026)

BSW achieved 11–16% at 2024 eastern German state elections (Saxony, Thuringia, Brandenburg). No current MV-specific polls were found; based on eastern German voter-structure patterns, BSW tends well above 5%. The 7% threshold clears the electoral threshold but sits below typical BSW results in comparable eastern states. No prediction market available; classified speculative. Existing Cassandra MV predictions cover only AfD, SPD, and CDU.

Berlin state election (September 20, 2026): CDU receives more than 15.0% of votes cast, confirmed by Berlin state returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026

The CDU still received 28.2% at the 2023 Berlin state election and provided governing mayor Kai Wegner. Existing predictions for the same election see Die Linke as the strongest party (>19%), Greens >14%, SPD >12% — indicating substantial CDU erosion. Nevertheless, a CDU collapse below 15% seems unlikely: even at its historic low in 2011 (17.6%), the CDU remained well above that threshold. Current poll aggregators place Berlin CDU 2026 in the 15–20% range, with the lower bound at ~16%. No Polymarket contract; calibrated from 2023 result and political shifts.

AfD receives more than 16.0% of votes cast in the Berlin state election (September 20, 2026), confirmed by Berlin state returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026

The AfD received only 9.2% at the 2023 Berlin state election. Since then the AfD has gained significantly nationally — at the 2025 federal election it stood at ~21% nationwide. East Berlin's peripheral districts are also traditionally AfD-affine. Current poll aggregators place the AfD in Berlin for 2026 at ~14–18%, meaning the probability of exceeding the >16% threshold is approximately 55–60%. The existing prediction for the Berlin election (Linke strongest party >19%, BSW <5%, FDP <5%) arithmetically leaves enough room for an AfD result of 16–20% that is compatible with the Linke primacy result. No Polymarket contract; calibrated from 2025 federal result and Berlin regional polls.

SPD wins more than 25.0% of votes cast at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (20 September 2026)

The most recent poll (Infratest dimap for NDR, July 2–6, 2026) shows the SPD at 29% under Minister-President Manuela Schwesig, behind the leading AfD (36%) but well ahead of CDU (9%) and Linke (12%). Historically strong in MV (39.6% in 2021). A fall below 25% by election day would require a swing of over 4 points from the July level. The Schwesig incumbency premium provides additional protection.

United Russia (Единая Россия) wins more than 300 of 450 seats in the Russian State Duma elections (September 18–20, 2026), confirmed by the Central Election Commission of Russia or Reuters by September 21, 2026

In the 2021 State Duma elections, United Russia won 324 out of 450 seats (72%). The party exercises near-total control over media, electoral authorities, and candidate registration. Despite economic pressures from sanctions and war costs, state-measured approval sits above 55%. Historically, United Russia has secured a supermajority in all Duma elections since 2003. A result below 300 seats would be a historic outlier requiring extreme political upheaval currently not in evidence. Metaculus consensus: >90% probability of party dominance.
