A general election was held in the U.S. state of Louisiana on October 24, 2015.[1] All of Louisiana's executive officers, and both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature were up for election. Under Louisiana's jungle primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot, regardless of party and voters voted for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation. Since no candidate received a majority of the vote during the primary election, a runoff election was held on November 21, 2015 between the top two candidates in the primary.[2][1] Louisiana is the only state that has a jungle primary system (California and Washington have a similar "top two primary" system).
