Debate of the presidential candidates to be broadcast on October 3
Presidential hopefuls will take part in live TV debates on October 3.
Debate of the presidential candidates will be held on October 3 live on the TV channel Belarus 1. It will begin at 17 hours. If there are more than five participants, the debate will continue for an hour and a half. If fewer - for about an hour.
The moderator of debate and its order will be determined by the BT. This was announced on August 6 at the CEC session on the upcoming presidential election.
Representative of Tatstsiana Karatkevich, Andrey Dzmitryieu, asked for BT employees to meet with the candidates on the eve of the debate and determine the order. The BT agreed to it and fully confirmed the readiness to lay out debate schedule.
Also, candidates will be able to speak live or in the recording during the week days on TV and radio from 6:10 am to 7:10 am on radio and from 19:00 to 20:00 on television. Only the candidate himself may speak, not his trustees.
Programs of the candidates will be published by Belarus Today, Respublika, Narodnaya Gazeta, Zvyazda, Minskiy Kurier, Zarya (Brest), Vitsebskiye Vesti and other regional newspapers. Not later than 20 September, candidates must submit a copy of their program.
Candidates can buy airtime on television and radio, as well as in the print media and on websites at the expense of the election fund.
