(CNN) The Democratic National Committee on Tuesday announced it will review the 2020 presidential nomination process, setting the stage for changes on how the party will choose who is at the top of the ticket in 2024. The evaluation, to be conducted by the members of the party's Rules and Bylaws Committee, will focus on reforms made ahead of last year's nomination process like increasing participation, caucus arrangements, and the role "superdelegates" play at the convention. It marks the first step in the years-long process to change any nomination rules ahead of the next presidential election. A "Unity Resolution" passed during the DNC convention last summer mandated the review process to be completed by March 31, 2021, but it was ultimately delayed due to Covid-19 restrictions. The public meetings represent the first opportunity to begin reviewing the nomination process, even though "this process does not include the writing and implementation of rules for the next presidential nominating process, which, as has been the case in every cycle, will not be done until the following year after a new RBC is in place," according to a DNC official.
