Read our privacy policy Democratic Party delegates won’t hold the virtual roll call vote to formalize the party’s presidential nominee until the first week in August, according to a co-chair of the party’s rules committee, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The virtual roll call is necessary to ensure that Biden — or another nominee — is formalized on paperwork that must be submitted to various state election officials so the party’s ticket can appear on the Democratic Party ballot line in the November general election. Walz told reporters that the virtual roll call was being motivated by concerns that an Ohio law which purported to push back the state’s August 7 deadline for nomination paperwork would not be honored by the Republican-controlled state government. He added that the virtual vote would be done “probably by the 15th of August.” Some Democrats had feared that an earlier scheduled committee meeting this week would be used to force an early roll call and lock Biden in on the ballot, despite widespread discontent with his continued candidacy among the party’s base.
