A coalition of Democratic officials is pushing for a rule change that would lock in the presidential nominating process reforms the party adopted in 2018 to extend them through the 2024 election cycle.

If they succeed, the Democrats’ effort would ensure that, among other things, the elected officials and party insiders known as superdelegates would remain bound by the preference of their state’s primary voters or caucus-goers until the second ballot at the party’s national convention.

The resolution to extend those reforms, which the Democratic National Convention’s rules committee is set to consider Thursday, would also require the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee to formally review the effectiveness of the 2018 reforms. The resolution’s co-sponsors hope that such a review process clears the way for permanent adoption of those reforms.

Larry Cohen, a rules committee member and former union leader who supported the presidential runs of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), formally introduced the resolution Monday.
