A runoff election occurs when a candidate has received the most votes but not the majority, or more than 50% of the votes, according to Texas state law. In this case, the candidate who received the greatest number of votes will face off against the candidate who received the second-highest number of votes.
Texas is one of 10 states that have this rule, per the National Conference of State Legislatures. According to NCSL’s website, The runoff system was intended "to encourage candidates to broaden their appeal to a wider range of voters, to reduce the likelihood of electing candidates who are at the ideological extremes of a party, and to produce a nominee who may be more electable in the general election. Now that the South is solidly Republican, the same issues still hold true."
