A triangular runoff (often referred to in France as a "triangular"[1][2]) is a runoff race where three candidates advance to the second round. There were apparently a record number of triangulars in the 2024 snap election called by France's President Emmanuel Macron.[3][4] When there are four candidates involved, it's called a "quadrangular" rather than a "square".[5]
Since French elections use runoffs, it might at first appear impossible for triangular runoffs to exist. However, legislative French elections allow any candidate with support greater than 12.5% of the number of registered voters to run in the second round.[2] In French elections, party leaders sometimes strategically coordinate electoral withdrawals in triangular districts to present challenges for the party leaders' least favored party.[6] This shows how a candidate withdrawal option may be used to change the behavior of a voting method.
