In early September 2026, three major Greek polling companies—Opinion, Pulse, and GPO—initiated nationwide surveys to measure public voting intentions and the influence of political parties following announcements made at the 90th Thessaloniki International Fair.

By late September, the integrity of polling activities faced scrutiny when lawyer Aris Papadopoulos filed a formal complaint with the National Council for Radio and Television (ESR) against the company Interview. The complaint alleges voter deception and manipulation, claiming a September poll was leaked 24 hours before its scheduled conclusion. Papadopoulos provided digital evidence suggesting the survey was distributed prematurely and alleged that results may have been predetermined to serve specific political interests through media outlets.
