Russian State Duma election (September 18–20, 2026): LDPR receives more than 10.0% of valid party-list votes (confirmed by Russian Central Election Commission or Reuters by September 21, 2026)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 18. September 2026 · Predicted for 21. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
87%

PolitPro Election Trend (Sept 17, 2026) puts LDPR under Leonid Slutsky at 12.8% (= 63 seats). The 10.0% threshold is 2.8 points below the survey figure. Even significant state-managed count adjustments in favor of United Russia are unlikely to push LDPR below 10%, as it also holds direct-mandate seats. United Russia polled at 46% (existing >47% prediction thus at risk), KPRF at 15.8%. No Polymarket market available.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026): SPD receives more than 29.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by state electoral authority MV or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current INSA election trend (Europe Elects, Sept 8–15, 2026) puts SPD at 32–37% in MV, with AfD slightly ahead at 36–37%. SPD governed MV for decades; even as runner-up, every poll is well above 29%. Only a historically unprecedented collapse of 3–8 points from all recent surveys would miss this threshold. No prediction market available; conservative floor derived from polling corridor.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026): Die Linke receives more than 8.5% of valid votes cast (confirmed by state returning officer MV or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Current polls consistently show Die Linke in MV well above the 8.5% threshold: INSA (Sep 8–15) 10%, Infratest dimap (Sep 9) 9%, Forsa (Aug 21–27) 11%, pollytix (Sep 8–9) 12%; weighted trend average 10.2%. Despite the BSW split (2024), Die Linke retains a stable voter base in MV. The 1.7 percentage point buffer between threshold and poll average acts as a cushion; even a full standard deviation downward swing (±2–3pp historical) would leave the result above 8.5%. Polymarket has no dedicated line for Die Linke's vote share; the MV election-winner market has SPD at 51 cents (leading).

Brazilian Presidential Election First Round (October 4, 2026): Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) Receives the Most Votes Ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) (confirmed by TSE or Reuters by October 5, 2026)

Latest poll: Datafolha (Sept 17, 2026) shows Lula at 39% vs Flávio Bolsonaro at 36% in the first round. Other surveys: Quaest (Aug 2026): Lula 38% vs Bolsonaro 31%; AtlasIntel (Sept 17): Lula 44.1% vs Bolsonaro 41.7%. Neither candidate will reach 50%+ outright; a runoff on October 25 is virtually certain. Polymarket gives Bolsonaro a 55.6% chance to win the overall election, but that market concerns the runoff winner, not first-round leader. Lula has historically finished first in every first round he contested (2002, 2006, 2022). Risk: late Bolsonaro mobilization, but closing a six-point gap in under two weeks is very unlikely.
