One prediction market prices this story:
- Will Labor win the second-most seats in the next Victorian state election? — the market puts it at 93%, with $600 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 29 Nov 2026. The outcome is Yes if Labor wins the second-most seats in Victoria's Legislative Assembly after the 2026 state election. The outcome is No if any other party or coalition takes that position. Readers often mistake the deadline for the election day itself, but the market resolves based on results known by March 31, 2027, using official data from the Victorian Electoral Commission.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
