# Ceremonial roll call at the 2024 Democratic National Convention

A ceremonial roll call vote was held on August 20, 2024, during the second night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Kamala Harris was ceremonially nominated for president because she was formally nominated in a virtual vote held weeks before the convention.
Described as a "celebratory roll call", state delegations ceremonially reported voting results for the presidential nomination. It was presided over by secretary of the Democratic National Committee, Jason Rae. Led by DJ Cassidy, each state's delegation was accompanied by their choice of background music during the roll call of the states, largely consisting of songs from artists from each respective state.
During the roll call, Harris and her vice presidential running mate Tim Walz held a separate rally at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that was attended by 15,000 spectators. A portion of Harris' remarks after the roll call were telecast to the United Center immediately after the ceremonial roll call was finished.
The atmosphere of the roll call was likened by many outlets to a dance party, and seen as more exciting than conventional roll calls seen at most previous conventions.
