The state of Iowa caved to demands by the DNC and will allow its Democrat caucuses to be eliminated as of the nation’s early presidential contests.
Iowa Democrats caved to the Democrat National Committee (DNC) on the party’s new presidential nominating calendar and will allow the state’s 2024 Democrat caucuses to move from one of the first contests in the nation, to an entirely vote-by-mail process with results released on March 5, or Super Tuesday.
The DNC rules panel on Friday approved the plan Iowa Democrats released earlier in the day that would see what has been the country’s first presidential contest since 1972 move to a months-long process where voters have from mid-January until March to mail-in their presidential preference card.
Registration to receive a card will begin on November 1, and they will start being mailed out on January 12. Democratic voters have until February 19 to request a card, and must have them mailed by March 5.
But Iowa Democrat’s representative to the DNC panel said that the changes were only for 2024.
„We intend to be first in 2028,“ said Scott Brennan told the DNC committee, the Des Moines Register reported.
