Predicted for 31. December 2026

Based on: Ongoing Event
The Paris Court of Appeal on July 7, 2026 reduced Le Pen's ineligibility from 5 years to 45 months with 30 months suspended — effectively a 15-month active ban. Since the first round of the presidential election is April 18, 2027 (President Macron completing his final term), Le Pen would be eligible under this ruling. France 24 and Reuters report the decision reopens her path to candidacy. Main risk: prosecution could appeal to the Court of Cassation, potentially reinstating the ban. Given the RN's clear strategy of fielding Le Pen and her repeated public signals, she is highly likely to make a formal declaration by year-end 2026. No specific Polymarket/Metaculus market found; our estimate: 67%.

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.

With 97% of votes counted, Republican incumbent Roger Wicker leads by just 28 votes per NBC News live results (04.11.2026) — one of the closest Senate races in history. Mississippi election law requires an automatic recount when the margin falls below 0.5% of total votes, expected to conclude by 15–20 November. The remaining 3% of ballots originate primarily from rural precincts with historically higher Republican turnout, giving Wicker a slight statistical edge. No specific Polymarket market for Mississippi was identified.

Polymarket gives Peltola a 72% win probability (as of November 3, 2026). The Democrat benefits from Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting system, which structurally favors cross-partisan candidates, as well as strong support from the Indigenous population and Alaska Native organizations. The national environment weighs on Sullivan: Polymarket gives Democrats a 72–77% probability of winning the Senate majority and 95% in the House. Early mail-ballot returns show a slight pro-Democratic lean in Alaska. Because Alaska uses ranked choice, a final count is not expected until November 5.
