The McGovern-Fraser Act, enacted in 1971, was a significant reform in the Democratic Party's presidential nomination process. It aimed to make the selection of delegates more democratic by requiring that they be chosen through open and fair primaries and caucuses, rather than by party insiders. The Act was a response to the tumultuous 1968 Democratic National Convention and sought to increase participation and representation, particularly of minority and grassroots voices within the party. Its implementation led to more transparent and inclusive nomination processes in subsequent elections.
