The candidate will be chosen by electronic ballots sent to the delegates of the Democratic National Convention.
On July 24, the US Democratic National Committee adopted the rules by which the political force elected its presidential candidate, which will make it possible to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris in the near future. CNN reported it.
Under the new rules, contenders for the Democratic nomination must formally declare their nomination by July 27 and submit the signatures of at least 300 delegates, no more than 50 from any one state, in July 30.
The candidate will be chosen by electronic ballots sent to the delegates of the Democratic National Convention. Voting is expected to take place on August 1, but the exact date will depend on the number of applicants and will be announced by the National Committee of the Democratic Party.
The party noted that electronic voting would allow presidential and vice presidential candidates to be determined by August 7 to avoid possible lawsuits over access to ballots in Ohio. Although the state passed a law pushing the deadline for political parties to nominate their official candidates to September 1, it will not take effect until the end of August.
When the Democratic Party nominates a presidential candidate, the rules allow him to name the vice president without requiring an additional distant vote.
The Democratic National Convention will take place in Chicago August 19-22. There will be purely ceremonial voting for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, and the election program will be approved.
It was previously reported that US Vice President Kamala Harris was ahead of Republican Donald Trump by two percentage points in the polls.
It can be recalled that on July 21, Biden announced that he would end his election campaign and that he was supporting Vice President Kamala Harris to run in his place.
