The Median Voter Theorem (MVT) is a proposition in political science and economics that suggests that in a majority-rule voting system, the preferences of the median voter will ultimately be reflected in the policies adopted by the government. The theorem is based on the assumption that voters have single-peaked preferences, meaning that each voter has a most preferred outcome and their preferences decrease as they move away from that outcome.
