Debate Rules

Rules every candidate, moderator, and producer agrees to before going live.

Time discipline

Speakers must respect their allocated time. Moderators may interrupt to enforce timing.

Conduct

Personal attacks, hate speech, and threats are prohibited and may result in muting or removal.

Honesty

Knowingly false statements may be flagged for fact-check review and addressed during the debate or in the archive.

Equal opportunity

Each speaker receives equivalent speaking time and the same set of moderator questions.

No campaign coordination

Moderators do not share questions or topics with candidates in advance.
