The article contains the following sentence: "The Louisiana primary is not a merely a runoff system, either, since a runoff might not be necessary under the Louisiana system." However, according to the Wikipedia article Two-round system, the same is true for two-round systems (and "roundoff system" is just a synonym for "two-round system"): The runoff vote in a two-round system is only held if no candidate receives the required number of votes (which is usually defined to be more than half of the votes). The article Two-round system is clearer than this article about the difference to Louisiana primary: "The key difference between the Louisiana primary and a typical two-round system is that political parties do not select the individuals using their party labels; rather, candidates can self-identify using the label of their preferred political party (or no party at all)." So actually the Louisiana primary is actually a two-round system, just one that differs a bit from "typical" two-round systems. --Marcos (talk) 18:48, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point. Edited to reflect that.--Wikibojopayne (talk) 22:14, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So what exactly is the difference between a Louisiana primary and a two-round system? Is it just the labelling? That does not seem to warrant its own article Rankedchoicevoter (talk) 19:08, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
