The Democratic National Committee is jump-starting a fight over which states vote first in the 2028 presidential calendar, approving a process Monday expected to invite controversy after the party’s primary shake-up in 2024.

The DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, which sets the nominating schedule, approved new guidelines that give states until Jan. 16, 2026, to apply for consideration for one of the four or five pre-Super Tuesday voting slots in each region of the country. The committee will then conduct an initial evaluation and vote on which states are invited to present before the committee at a later date.
