National Debate and Polling Reform

Proposed policy would do the following:

  • A minimum of 5 of the top polling candidates from separate parties or as independents must be included in any nationally televised debate
  • No priority or automatic placement is given for presumptive nominees of a party
  • Polling used for debate criteria must be unbiased, including the name of any candidate that has applied to be on the ballot in a majority of the states
  • No debate agreements can be made between debate holders and debate participants
  • Communication between debate hosting organizations and participating campaigns is public record
