RBC Review of the 2020 process
After every presidential nominating cycle, the DNC takes a look at how well the process worked and how we might improve it for the next cycle.  As part of our review of the 2020 process, we would like your feedback about what worked and what can be improved.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES: For the first time, the 2020 rules strongly encouraged State Parties to use a government-run primary where possible, because primaries are generally more accessible than caucuses. State Parties were required to encourage state-level legislation to allow for same-day or automatic registration and same-day party switching. State Parties also were encouraged to support efforts to protect and expand the vote, to advance election fairness and security measures, and to undertake education programs to make the voting rules and timelines more clear for voters.  How well do you think these requirements worked, and what else should be done to improve presidential primaries moving forward? *
CAUCUSES: In some states, the law does not provide for a government-run presidential primary, and the State Party runs a caucus instead.  For the 2020 cycle, the DNC required State Parties holding caucuses allow absentee voting or another way to enable those who could not be there in person to participate. We also required State Parties to develop their technical and financial ability to run a caucus, use written votes in the event a recount were necessary, and ensure that all national convention delegates be allocated based on the results of the candidate preferences of everyday voters, not later delegate conventions in the state. Do you believe these 2020 caucus reforms helped, and what, if any, further reforms should we consider for these party-run processes? *
AUTOMATIC DELEGATES: The 2020 Rules provided that automatic delegates would not vote on the first ballot of the presidential roll call unless a presidential candidate already had secured more than enough pledged delegates elected in the primaries to win the nomination.  While we had a very “unconventional” national convention in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in your view, is this an effective change for our delegate selection process? *
ADDITIONAL REFORMS: As we begin to look toward the 2024 presidential cycle, the DNC asks for your ideas to continue to improve our nominating process and make it as accessible and transparent as possible. What additional ideas do you have to improve our nominating process for 2024? *
