Iowa Democrats have decided to relinquish their long-standing role of holding the first presidential nominating contest, a tradition they’ve upheld since 1972.
On Friday, they revealed their alignment with the Democratic National Committee’s revamped early state strategies. South Carolina is now slated to conduct the inaugural party-endorsed primary next year. This move by Iowa paves the way for New Hampshire to finalize its 2024 primary date, which, as mandated by its state law, needs to be the earliest in the country. This decision had been pending due to the Iowa Democrats’ discussions about the logistics of their new mail-in caucus system.
During a virtual press briefing, Rita Hart, the head of the Iowa Democratic Party, detailed Iowa’s plans for the 2024 caucus. The party intends to disclose its results on Super Tuesday, which falls on March 5, 2024. Starting November 1, Democrats in Iowa can sign up for the newly introduced “mail-in caucuses.”
While there will be a conventional in-person caucus on January 15, 2024, its primary function will revolve around “party matters” such as drafting platform resolutions and electing certain delegates and precinct leaders.
Hart expressed confidence in this new approach, stating, “We believe this delegate selection plan strikes a balance, adhering to both the Rules and Bylaws Committee’s stipulations and the 2024 Iowa law.”
Iowa’s proposal received the green light from the DNC’s rules committee at a gathering in St. Louis. With Iowa deciding to announce its presidential nominating process results on Super Tuesday, New Hampshire is viewing this as a positive development. They can now schedule their primary date, which is expected to precede the DNC’s official timeline.
