Democrats in Iowa and Nevada will be able to vote over the phone instead of showing up at traditional caucus meetings next February, according to state-party plans reported by AP's Michelle Price and Tom Beaumont.
Context: The tele-caucus systems, the result of a DNC mandate, are aimed at opening the local-level political gatherings to more people, especially evening shift-workers and people with disabilities.
Why it matters: The changes are expected to boost voter participation, presenting a new opportunity for 2020 candidates.
- In Iowa, polls show as many as 20% of Democrats will participate virtually.
