This market will resolve to “Yes” if a snap election is called in Spain by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” The calling of a snap election requires the formal dissolution of at least one house of the Spanish Parliament or another formal scheduling, according to the rules of the jurisdiction, of an election for all members of at least one house of the Spanish Parliament prior to their scheduled election at the end of their parliamentary term. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of Spain; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. **Sánchez has repeatedly ruled out dissolving the Cortes Generales before the end of 2026, committing instead to exhaust the full legislative term that ends no later than July 2027.** At the PSOE Federal Committee in late June, party leadership closed ranks behind this timeline, targeting a 2027 vote—likely February or March—to avoid coinciding with May municipal and regional contests. The minority government, operating on the 2023 budget for a third consecutive year after losing Junts support, faces ongoing pressure from corruption cases and the Ceuta migration crisis, yet no parliamentary majority exists for a successful censure motion or forced early dissolution. Recent reporting through mid-August confirms the prime minister’s focus on presenting 2027 budgets and managing coalition arithmetic rather than triggering a snap contest. Traders therefore price an 82% chance of no 2026 snap election, reflecting the absence of any official move toward dissolution and Sánchez’s explicit strategic preference for 2027.
