The Democratic National Committee (DNC) recently decided that August 1 will be the first day delegates begin voting for their favored presidential candidates.
Vice President Kamala Harris is the party's presumptive nominee after accruing a massive amount of support from delegates after President Biden dropped out of the race. The vote will take place virtually, according to a DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee hearing on Wednesday.
The virtual voting process will be quicker than learning who becomes the nominee at the Democratic National Convention, which takes place later in August.
DNC outside counsel Patrick Moore noted that the deadline to certify a presidential and vice presidential candidate is August 7.
"The goal of these rules is to make the process work such that, a president and vice presidential nominee will be certified on or before August 7," Moore said during a meeting.
"So if for some reason or another, the process did not work on that timeline, which again, we firmly intend and expect that it will, the rules provide the chair of the DNC and the chair of the convention working together may extend the process," he added.
