Step 1: Declaration of Intent to Run: process will remain open until 6 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday, July 27
Step 2: Obtaining Delegate Support: candidates will have until Tuesday, July 30 to obtain support of enough delegates to demonstrate viability of their campaigns
Step 3: Vote to Determine Nominee: Any candidate who obtains the signatures of at least 300 delegates will be eligible for the virtual roll call vote, which is currently scheduled to take place on Thursday, Aug. 1.
Step 4: Choosing Candidate’s Running Mate: After the nominee is officially chosen, they will have the task of identifying their vice-presidential nominee no later than Aug. 7.

According to the Rules Committee, that nominee will be made official by the DNC chair.

Both candidates on the ticket will be present at the DNC in Chicago for a ceremonial vote showing support for their spot atop the ballot, though delegates will still get a chance to vote on the party’s official platform.
