Line 18:
* [[Blanket primary]] - Also called a "jungle primary". Allows voters to vote in either primary, switching party primaries with each office (Ex. Republican Presidential primary, Democratic Gubernatorial Primary, Republican Congressional Primary).
* ''Run-off.'' If no candidate receives a majority (50%) the top two candidates may face-off in a [[Runoff voting|run-off]] election.
* [[Approval-based primary election method]]s — methods which use an approval-style "choose-many" ballot, but also advance more than one candidate to the general election.
Other ways that parties may select their candidates include [[caucus]]es and [[political convention|convention]]s.
