In this cycle, in-person caucuses focusing only on party business will be held on January 15, but voting on candidates is being done exclusively via mail-in ballots from January 12 until Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024. This was the result of a compromise between the Iowa Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Iowa traditionally holds its race first during the presidential primary and caucuses season, but the DNC originally wanted South Carolina to instead hold its race first on February 3.

46 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be allocated to presidential candidates.

Incumbent President Joe Biden announced his bid for a second term on April 25, 2023. He faces a primary challenge from author, progressive activist, and 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, and Representative Dean Phillips. All three candidates filed to appear on the mail-in ballot and were certified by the filing deadline on December 1, 2023 - along with a choice to vote for "Uncommitted".
