2026 Elections: SA, Victoria, and US Midterms in Focus

Australia’s 2026 state elections will test Labor’s dominance. South Australia’s March 21 vote will fill all 47 lower‑house seats and 11 of 22 upper‑house seats; Labor won the 2022 contest 27‑16 and current polls show a 61‑39 to 67‑33 lead. Victoria’s November 28 election will decide 88 lower‑house seats and 40 upper‑house seats; Labor’s Premier Jacinta Allan faces low approval, and the state’s “group voting ticket” system remains in play. Meanwhile, U.S. midterms on November 3 will decide all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats; Republicans hold a 220‑215 House majority and 53‑47 Senate advantage from 2024, but Democrats could flip the House. These contests shape power in both hemispheres.
