Wiki:
Under Louisiana’s “jungle primary” system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot, regardless of party, and voters could vote for any candidate. Since no candidate received a majority of the vote during the primary election, a runoff election was held on December 10[2] between the top two candidates in the primary, Republican John Kennedy and Democrat Foster Campbell. Louisiana is the only state that has a jungle primary system (California and Washington have a similar “top two primary” system).
