As part of Iowa’s new plan, Democratic voters can sign up to receive a presidential preference card — to be mailed starting Jan. 12 — or participate in an in-person precinct caucus on Jan. 15, the same date as Republicans. The party will not release the results of their mail-in caucus until Super Tuesday on March 5, and any cards postmarked on or before that day will be accepted.
That plan received conditional compliance from the DNC bylaws committee Friday at the national party’s fall meeting in St. Louis. Iowa Democrats, however, are holding out hope that they can return to the early window for the 2028 presidential nominating process….
