=== Compromising ===
'''Compromising''' (sometimes '''favorite-burying''' or '''useful vote''') is a type of tactical voting in which a voter insincerely ranks or rates an alternative higher (more generally, increases their support for that alternative) in the hope of getting it elected. For example, in the [[first-past-the-post election system|first-past-the-post]] election, a voter may vote for an option they perceive as having a greater chance of winning over an option they prefer (e.g., a left-wing voter voting for a popular moderate candidate over an unpopular leftist candidate). [[
'''Compromising-compression''' is a compromising strategy that involves insincerely giving two candidates an equal ranking (or equal rating).
