Talk:Two-round system: Difference between revisions

Line 15:
I agree on merging [[louisiana primary]] but also [[nonpartisan blanket primary]] should be merged as well. This article seems much better written than either of those and there is lots of redundancy. The differences between them are trivial (what dates the two elections are on, whether a majority in first election negates need for second one, and some weird rules about saying what party you belong to for the first election to avoid some nitpick legal challenge).[[User:Spitzak|Spitzak]] ([[User talk:Spitzak|talk]]) 18:46, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 
:Oppose a complete merger. There are differences between these.
:One key difference:
:A two round system often means that a second round is only held contingent upon there being no candidate obtaining a majority in the first round. For example, Chicago and Atlanta mayoral elections, or French and Russian presidential elections.
:In a jungle primary system, there is a second round REGARDLESS of whether someone obtains an outright majority.
:Jungle primaries are also distinct in that party labels are included on the ballot. Not all two-round systems allow for this.

Louisiana and jungle should merge together, but be left separate from this article.
