No longer will Iowa Democrats gather in person to physically stand and be counted as they tally presidential support on Caucus Day.
Instead, Democrats would register for the Iowa Caucuses and request a presidential preference card beginning Nov. 1. Those cards would be mailed out to participants beginning Jan. 12, 2024, and would functionally work like a mail-in primary ballot.
Iowans could request a preference card until Feb. 19 and return it through the mail until March 5. The party would release results March 5, which is known as "Super Tuesday," when voters head to the polls in more than a dozen states.
The party will still hold in-person caucuses on Jan. 15 — the same day Iowa Republicans will hold their traditional first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses — to conduct other party business unrelated to presidential preferences.
Hart said the party is still working out some of the details, including which names will appear on the preference card. Currently, Iowa Democrats don't use a balloting system for their caucuses, so they do not have a process for candidates to petition to appear on the ballot.
