The special election in Alaska in 2022 used ranked choice voting and showed a "center squeeze" effect where the most centrist candidate was eliminated early. Mark Begich, the Condorcet winner, would have beaten the other candidates in head-to-head matchups but was eliminated due to few first-place votes. The study looked at how the election would have turned out under Approval Voting and STAR Voting, finding that Peltola would still have won under Approval Voting, while Begich would have won under STAR Voting.
