Two political groups in Taiwan are asking the Central Election Commission hold televised debates and presentations for legislator-at-large candidates. Representatives from the Taiwan Renewal Party and the Citizen Congress Watch submitted a petition to the Commission on Monday. An answer is expected within two days.

The two groups say that by televising debates and platform presentations, candidates from all of Taiwan’s political parties will have a fair chance in January’s elections. They say that these debates will help Taiwan’s voters make a more informed choice. [FULL STORY]
