With only one month left until the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August, Democrats will have to decide whether Biden is their best bet at beating former President Donald Trump in November, or if concerns over his age and veracity outweigh his strength as a candidate.
However, even more concrete than naming Biden as the nominee is the printing of millions of ballots with his name on them.
Once a candidate is named the party’s nominee at their affiliated convention, they are required to certify the selected candidates to each state’s Secretary of State or director of election.
Each state has its own specific time frame and process for certifying a party’s presidential and vice presidential candidate’s name on the ballot before printing them.
Some states require a party’s candidates to be certified to the director of election no later than the beginning of September, while others allow the candidate to be submitted at a later date.
In the event that a candidate cannot continue in the race after being chosen as a nominee, it would be up to the national party to choose a replacement. However, difficulties could arise in the instance that a new nominee was chosen after states already began printing ballots with the previous candidate’s name on them.
