We develop a model of multi-candidate electoral competition in a multi-dimensional policy space with strategic voters. We show that when the distribution of voter ideal points is log-concave, there exist pure-strategy subgame perfect equilibria in weakly undominated strategies in which platforms are located in the minmax set. Analytical and numerical results suggest that the size of the minmax ...
