(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Any voter who would like to pose a question to Indiana’s three gubernatorial candidates who are on the November 3 ballot are being welcomed to ask those questions by the Indiana Debate Commission.
The commission, the first independent debate commission of its kind in the United States, is keeping with its mission of “putting voters first.”
The three-way contest this year is between incumbent Republican Eric Holcomb, Democrat Woodrow “Woody” Myers, and Libertarian Donald G. Rainwater II.
Questions will be vetted by members of the commission and accepted for consideration through October 15. Hoosier whose questions are selected also may be offered the opportunity to ask their questions on pretaped video during each of the hour-long debates.
“We look forward to giving citizens this platform to voice their concerns,” said Commission President Elizabeth Bennion, who is a political science professor at Indiana University South Bend. “The debates offer the best opportunity for Hoosier voters to hear extended comments on the issues of the day directly from the candidates.”
Candidates have agreed to debate on Tuesday, October 20 and Tuesday, October 27. Debates will be broadcasted on WFYI in Indianapolis from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
The debates will also be streamed live on the commission’s website and YouTube channel. Hoosiers can also check with their local news organizations to find out other ways to watch or listen.
Moderators will be announced in the coming weeks.
