Rules & FormatIntroduction
This document provides information about the rules and format of this
year’s presidential and vice presidential debate. The document is primarily
provided as a resource to the candidates in preparing for the debate.
Debate Topics
The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics expected to be covered by the
moderators during this year’s debate:
Candidate goals and platforms
Student/Administration Relations
SG Advocacy
Stand on Barkada Kontra Droga Campaign
SG Financial Accountability
Student involvement
Student behavior and discipline ( Cleanliness and order)
Moderators may cover additional topics as they see fit, including points from
the platforms or experience of specific candidates. They may also not be able
to cover some of these topics, depending on how time allows.
Our goal for this debate is not necessarily for a particular candidate to “win”
over the other, but rather to emphasize the differences between the
candidates–whether that be differences in your positions on the issues or
differences in your approach to the office–so that the students can make an
informed vote.
Allotted Time for Answers
Each candidate will have up to 60 seconds at the beginning of the
1 | P a g e
debate to make an opening statement, and an additional 60 seconds at the
end of the debate to make a closing statement.
For each question posed by the moderators, each candidate will have
up to 2 minutes to respond to the question. Once all candidates have had the
opportunity to respond, candidates may offer rebuttal or follow-up comments
in any order for up to 30 seconds apiece as permitted by the moderators,
however rebuttal may only be offered once per candidate per question.
There will be an official timekeeper who shall be responsible for
keeping time. The timekeeper will hold up a green poster when the candidate
has 30 seconds left, a yellow poster when the candidate has 10 seconds left,
and a red poster when the time has expired. However, the moderators shall
be responsible for enforcing time limits, and will allow candidates to complete
their thought (within a reasonable amount of time) if they go over the limit.
Answering Order
Prior to the beginning of the debate, candidates will draw lots to
determine the order in which they will deliver their opening statements, as
well as their seating arrangement in-studio. This order will then be re-used for
subsequent questions, but rotated.
For example, if Candidate 1 is first to deliver an opening statement,
followed by 2, then 3, then 4. Then for the first question Candidate 2 will go
first, and for the second question Candidate 3 will go first, and so on and so
forth.
The order for delivering closing statements will be the reverse of the
order used for opening statements.
“Party Favors”
All candidates and moderators will be provided with a notepad, pen, and a
bottle of water for their convenience.
Other Rules and Provisions for Candidates
There will be a professional dress code for moderators and candidates.
Candidates are asked to maintain a professional decorum during the
debate, and refrain from using inappropriate language. ATV’s live
broadcast does not have any tape delay.

Candidates will not be allowed to bring campaign posters, stickers,
buttons, or other campaign-related props for the purpose of showing
during the debate.
