DescriptionCenter Squeeze Example Bar Graph IRV Round 2.svg
English: A graph showing combined voter preferences in an example instant-runoff election, used to demonstrate the center-squeeze effect. Candidate B is experiencing center-squeeze from candidates A and C by virtue of being the second favorite to both candidate's voters, but not securing enough first-choice votes to win under first-past-the-vote and instant-runoff (ranked choice). Candidate B is the head-to-head winner against both candidates A and C, making them the Condercet winner.
