The Convention Rules Committee, in partnership with the DNC and DNCC, voted to adopt the Permanent Rules of the 2024 Democratic National Convention by a vote of 157-3. The Convention Rules Committee is co-chaired by Governor Tim Walz and Bishop Leah Daughtry.

“As a Party, it’s our obligation to design and implement a fair nomination process for delegates to formally express their preferences through a vote to select an official presidential nominee of the Democratic Party who will go on to top the ballot in November,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “As extreme Republicans try to chip away at the faith in our institutions, the work of our Rules Committee and the responsibility of our delegates to cast their votes in the days to come proves that our democracy is strong. The work ahead may be unprecedented, but we are prepared to undertake a transparent, swift, and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a nominee who represents our values and will lead us to victory in November.”

“We have taken an important step today to put our Democratic ticket on every general election ballot nationwide and on a path to winning in November,” said DNCC Chair Minyon Moore. “We are confident that the process we’ve laid out is secure, democratic, and critical to our defense against bad-faith litigation coming from Republicans and dark money groups as they once again put partisan games above the will of American voters. Today we stood up clearly to say: we will not let you. The Convention in Chicago will be a critical moment for our party — not only to rally around our nominees and showcase their bold platform for the next four years — but to bring delegates to the table to vote on our Party’s platform and conduct a ceremonial state-by-state roll call that has long been a beloved tradition of our Party.”
