**Iceland’s referendum on resuming EU accession negotiations, held on August 29, 2026, remains too close to call, with recent Gallup polling showing 51.6% opposed and 48.4% in favor.** Traders assign a 62% probability to a “No” outcome, reflecting persistent voter concerns over fisheries sovereignty and national control of waters, which halted talks in 2013. These issues outweigh arguments for economic stability via euro adoption and added security amid geopolitical tensions. The ballot asks only whether to restart negotiations—not membership itself—with any accession treaty requiring a second referendum years later. The centre-left government advanced the vote from 2027 amid external pressures, yet polls indicate divided opinion and stronger opposition to full EU entry.
