The Democratic Party began the formal vote to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Thursday, kicking off a virtual roll call that will cement her status as the party’s standard-bearer heading into November.

The Democratic National Committee opened the vote to the delegates who will decide the party’s nominee at 9 a.m. Delegates are emailed a personalized and watermarked form, and they can either send the form back or have the DNC call them to cast their vote. Ballots are being sent on a rolling basis, and the process is expected to take several days, with the voting window closing at 6 p.m. on Aug. 5.

    Couldn’t you join a party and then you get to vote for the parties leader ? Don’t see much of a difference between that and the primary system other then you have to officially join the party, which I’m not sure what that entails, as opposed to just registering to vote for it.
