According to an extension a panel of the Democratic National Committee authorized on Wednesday, New Hampshire and Georgia will have a little more time to enact significant changes to when and how they hold Democratic presidential primaries.<\/p>\n

If election officials decide to have early primaries in 2024, they must reschedule Georgia’s and New Hampshire’s Democratic presidential primaries from February 13 to February 20 by June 3.<\/p>\n

If New Hampshire wants to continue being one of the first states in the nation to cast ballots for the Democratic presidential nominee, early voting must also be made more accessible.<\/p>\n

South Carolina voters will choose the Democratic presidential nominees first, followed by Nevada, New Hampshire, Georgia, and Michigan, according to a DNC commission that rearranged the traditional caucus and primary calendar in December.<\/p>\n

The plan would shift the earliest date away from the traditionally first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, but New Hampshire would continue to play an early role and vote just a week after South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Gop State Leaders Were Against<\/h2>\n

After a 25-0 virtual vote on Wednesday, the Rules & Bylaws Committee approved the extension, giving New Hampshire and Georgia more time after the Jan. 5 deadline to finish primary election changes. Republican state politicians, though, continue to reject the changes.<\/p>\n

Because the Republican governor and the state legislature have failed to cooperate with Democrats to change state legislation, New Hampshire Democrats are pleading with the committee to get in touch with them.<\/p>\n

Joanne Dowdell, a panelist from New Hampshire, stated, “I want to make very clear about one thing\u2014we share the presidents and the RBC’s commitment to amplifying the voices of Black, Latino, and Hispanic voters. And we believe we can advance other viewpoints while keeping New Hampshire at the forefront. Both options exist.<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/p>\n

Our goal with the early primary window, Dowdell added, “shouldn’t just be to tell the story of one state or a particular group of people, but rather it should be to convey the broader story of our party\u2014both our beliefs and our capacity to appeal to voters all over the country.<\/p>\n

Due to the new early primary rules, she claimed that New Hampshire Democrats were in a “no-win position.”<\/p>\n

If they don’t change, New Hampshire and Georgia must have their Democratic primary elections for president within the usual period from the first Tuesday in March to the second Tuesday in June.<\/p>\n

If the state runs its primary elections outside of that window without the waiver, it might lose half of its delegates and be prohibited from hosting Democratic presidential candidates.<\/p>\n
