The Democratic National Committee has approved a proposal by Nevada Democrats to offer the first-ever early voting option for presidential caucuses.
The change stems from a push to make in-person presidential nominating meetings more accessible.
The state party's chairman, William McCurdy II, and DNC chairman Tom Perez, intend to hold a conference call Monday to announce the approval of the plan.
Nevada's plan calls for four days of early voting, along with releasing raw vote totals from the caucus, offering caucus materials in Tagalog for the state's growing Filipino population, and having caucus workers use an app instead of paper to record and transmit results to party officials.
Traditional caucuses require voters show up in person at neighborhood sites at a specific time and break into groups to demonstrate their support for their chosen candidate.
Critics have said the format is difficult for people to participate in, especially if they're homebound, have to work or have young children.
Nevada is instead relying on four days of early voting to boost turnout, running February 15 through the 18.
The early results will be kept confidential until vote totals are released from the state's main caucuses on February 22.
