Elections
2011
- See also: Louisiana State Senate elections, 2011
Allain ran in the 2011 election for Louisiana Senate District 21. He defeated Darrin Guidry (R) in the primary election on October 22, 2011. Because Louisiana uses a blanket primary system, a candidate can be declared the overall winner of the seat by garnering 50 percent +1 of the vote in the primary. However, if no candidate reaches this threshold, then a general election would have taken place on November 19, 2011 between the top-two vote getters.[1]
