WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Delegates to the Democratic National Convention will hold an Aug. 1-5 virtual vote to formally pick Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's nominee for president in a Nov. 5 election, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) said on July 31.

Harris was the only candidate to qualify for the Democratic presidential ballot, DNC leaders said in a statement announcing the results of the party's presidential nominating petition process.

The DNC has pledged to deliver a presidential nominee by Aug. 7, well ahead of the Aug. 19-22 convention in Chicago.
