Our North Star from the beginning of this process has been to grow our party, unite our party, and earn voters' trust. That’s why we passed the strongest reforms to our party in decades, and I wanted to share some of the highlights of this historic vote. 👇
We voted today to return power to the grassroots of our party by reducing the role superdelegates have in the Democratic presidential nominating process, respecting the will of voters.
Our democracy works best when more people can participate. So, to make the presidential nominating process more inclusive, transparent, & accessible the DNC voted to expand the use of primaries so that more people could participate in the process.
For states with caucuses, our reforms recommend that those states take steps to make their caucuses as accessible as possible, including offering absentee voting and implementing better processes for tracking ballots in case a recount is needed.
Democrats are doing all we can to make sure that every eligible voter can exercise their constitutional right at the ballot box. That’s why we’re encouraging all states to offer same-day voter registration so Democrats can vote in their state's primaries.
These changes are all about the future. We’re building the infrastructure Democrats will need to succeed in 2018, take back our democracy from Donald Trump in 2020, and win elections up and down the ballot for years to come. Let’s keep working hard! ➡️IWillVote.com
