The Iowa Democratic Party is scrapping the traditional caucus structure that requires making a presidential pick in-person. Instead, Iowans would mail in a card to express their presidential preference, and the 2024 in-person democratic caucuses would focus solely on party business.

Iowa Democrats will be able to request a presidential preference card through the mail or online, according to a draft of the Iowa Democratic Party delegate selection plan released Wednesday morning.

Iowans would then have a window of time to fill the card out and return it through the mail. There would be no expression of presidential preference conducted at the in-person precinct caucuses.

“Our draft delegate selection plan provides us flexibility to respond to the chaos surrounding the Presidential nominating calendar. Iowa Democrats will do what’s best for Iowa and that means moving forward with the most inclusive caucus process in Iowa history," Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart said.

Now the plan is on to the national party's rules committee for their approval.
