Iowa Democrats' Plan to Modernize 2024 Nominating Calendar and Caucus Process

Iowa Democrats have unveiled a proposal to comply with President Joe Biden's plan to revamp the 2024 presidential nominating calendar. Under the proposal, Iowa Democratic voters will have until March 5 to cast their votes for a presidential nominee through a mail-in process. This move comes after the national Democratic Party adopted a new schedule that demoted Iowa and New Hampshire while elevating South Carolina, Nevada, and Michigan. While Iowa's plan is expected to be approved by the Democratic National Committee, New Hampshire Democrats may face sanctions for deviating from the new calendar.
