The median voter theorem states that if voters have single-peaked preferences, a majority of them prefer the median ideal policy to all other policies. This means that the candidate or policy that is closest to the middle of the political spectrum, or the median voter, is likely to win the election or be the most popular policy. This is based on the assumption that voters will vote strategically and choose the candidate or policy that is closest to their own preferences.
