Kamala Harris will be confirmed as the Democratic US presidential nominee through electronic voting starting Thursday, replacing the traditional in-person balloting.

The process follows Joe Biden's decision to end his re-election bid, positioning Harris as the only Democratic candidate against Republican Donald Trump in November.

Nearly 4,000 delegates and around 700 superdelegates will cast their votes online until Monday.

The confirmation marks Harris as the first Black and South Asian woman to secure a major party's nomination.

The voting system remains largely unchanged from the 2020 process due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The DNC has yet to disclose details about the announcement of results.
