“The commission continues to put voters first as we engage with candidates in this fall election season with one of our busiest seasons ever,” said Max Jones, president of the commission and editor of the Tribune-Star in Terre Haute. “We also had a record number of venues submit applications this year and we also rely on their generosity to provide free and accessible sites to accommodate public attendance.”

The non-profit commission is the only independent group in the state of Indiana that provides free broadcast satellite feeds for those interested in sharing debates either live or delayed to communities across Indiana. The commission also provides a live stream on its site for debate events and archives all of the taped debates on its website for later viewing.

Indiana voters are invited to submit questions on the commission’s website with links to both races from the home page:

Questions are vetted by members of the commission and those who submit may be invited to ask their questions of the candidates in person.
