on the cards

Question

I think there'll be an election next year.I think it's on the cards.

Answer 1

انتظار میرود، قابل پیش بینی است

example from Longman:

No one was surprised when they got a divorce. It had been on the cards for years.

وقتی طلاق گرفتند، هیچ کس تعجب نکرد. سالها بود که (چنین اتفاقی ازشون) انتظار میرفت ،(قابل پیش بینی بود)ا

 

p.s. Ali Karimian's answer was OK. I just wanted to offer a more idiomatic one (if it ever is!!)
