Elections Forever now includes the 2026 British Columbia election, the snap campaign David Eby called two years early. Lead any of five parties across all 93 ridings, and see whether your strategy can change BC history.

Rewrite election night

On October 24, Lorne Doerkson’s Conservatives won 64 seats and their first government since 1928, with 27 for the NDP and 2 for the Greens. Can you win Eby a fourth straight NDP term? Can you do better than Doerkson? Or can you rewrite the map entirely?

What’s in the BC campaign

• All 93 ridings across 12 regions, from Surrey and the Tri-Cities to the Cariboo and the Kootenays
• Five parties: the NDP, Conservatives, Greens, CentreBC, and OneBC
• Ten leaders, including what-ifs like Christine Boyle, Adrian Dix, Caroline Elliott, Trevor Halford, and Jeremy Valeriote
• 24 BC issues, including cost of living, housing, DRIPA, involuntary care, LNG, ICBC, wildfires, and U.S. tariffs
• Real campaign events, from the writ-day floor crossings to LNG Canada Phase 2
• The October 14 leaders’ debate, plus interviews with the outlets British Columbians follow, from CBC Vancouver to Political Capital with Rob Shaw

Think you can call the 2026 midterms? Here’s your chance to prove it.

Predict how many seats each party will win in the House and Senate. The closest prediction wins a free license of President Forever 2028 when it launches!

(You can view the contest post on X here.)

How to enter

E-mail us, include ‘Elections Forever 2026 Midterm Predictions’ in the subject, or post your prediction on X, tag @270sims, and include #ElectionsForever, using this format:

House: D ___ / R ___
Senate: D ___ / R ___

The deadline is Sunday, November 1 at 3:00 pm PT, before polls close.

How it’s scored

Your score is the number of House seats you’re off by, plus 5 times the number of Senate seats you’re off by. The lowest score wins.

For example, if you’re 4 seats off in the House and 1 seat off in the Senate, your score is 4 + (5 × 1) = 9.

The Senate counts for more because fewer seats are up for grabs, so every seat matters.

Official rules

• Entries: your House numbers must add up to 435 and your Senate numbers to 100. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
• One entry per e-mail/account. If you post more than once, your first post counts. If you edit your post, the original version counts.
• If X, your X account must be public so we can see your entry.
• Results: we’ll judge using AP results as of November 20, 2026. Any race not yet called will go to the candidate leading at that time.
• Ties: the closest House prediction wins. If that’s still tied, the earliest post wins.
• Prize: one free license of President Forever 2028 when it’s released. If you’d rather play now, you can choose President Infinity 2024 instead.
• Winner: we’ll announce the winner on or around November 20.
• No purchase necessary.

Elections Forever has been released for the November US Congressional (House/Senate) elections.

It initially has 4 modes: US, UK, Canada, and Australia (each of these has a slightly different game engine and editor capabilities).

Each of those modes in turn has official campaigns.

The roadmap currently is:

1. Initial launch with US (House 2014-2026, Senate 2010-2026), UK (2010, 2015, 2017, 2019), Canada (2000-2019, some provincial campaigns), Australia (2016, 2019) modes (this step has been completed)
2. UK up to speed by adding 2024
3. Canada up to speed by adding 2021, 2025
4. Australia up to speed by adding 2022, 2025
5. Updating older official campaigns with updated/higher-resolution images

Elections Forever is intended as an evergreen global game, and so updates will be ongoing to improve the game, Editor, engine capabilities, community-crafted campaign support, and so on.

President Infinity 2024 v. 1.8.1 update:

– added Solidify Support to simulate completing primaries and entering general election electorate dynamics, this fixes a gameplay issue where after extended primaries support would be too weak and lead to too much fluidity in general election %s
– Editor > Veeps > fixed bug where couldn’t turn on/off ‘Vice-Leaders enabled for campaign’
– Player Info > Spy Button > added more detail about how Spies work
– fixed bug where would have all white campaign images (from BMPs in campaign)
– fixed bug where would have dark campaign images (from 16bit BMPs in campaign)

Good gaming and thank you for supporting this election sim!

There will be an update for President Infinity 2024 soon.

This version will add support solidification after the primaries.

What was happening – especially in a contentious primaries – was that support for a given party was weakening, especially in key primary states. For example, California might see heavy campaigning, and so weakening of support for various candidates in the Democratic party.

The problem is that when it switched to the general election, this weakening of support would continue. So Democrats would be especially vulnerable in, say, California.

What was missing was support solidification after the primaries. Now, before the game enters the general election (and so opens up cross-party switching for voters) it solidifies voters in a given party, moving 75% of voters to match the campaign-specified levels of support for undecided, leaning, and committed %s in a given Geo and Party, if those numbers are weaker when entering the general election than specified in the campaign.
