2. Questions to the candidates, which will be posed by a panel of local news media. The Marshall Independent, Minneota Mascot, Tracy Headlight-Herald and KMHL Radio have been invited to participate. The panelists will prepare their own questions, and then work them in with questions submitted by the audience. Students from the Political Science Association will distribute and gather cards for this purpose.
3. Closing statements of up to two minutes apiece.
Order of speaking will be determined by draw, then rotated.
It is expected that the program will be broadcast by KMHL AM 1400 (either live or on tape delay) and KSSU-TV. KSSU broadcasts at SMSU campus and in Marshall via two community access channels.
