The Central Election Commission says the first televised policy presentation
for candidates contesting the January 13 presidential election will take
place on December 20.

The candidates will be able to present their policies in three televised
sessions.

The first of which is scheduled for 7PM on December 20.

The second will be held at 2PM on December 26, and the third at 7PM on
December 28.

A policy presentation session is scheduled for vice presidential candidates
at 7PM on December 22.

The presentations will see each candidate given 10 consecutive minutes to
present their views in each round.

While it's not the same as debates where candidates can quickly respond to
the claims of rivals, they can respond to comments another candidate makes in
their allotted 10 minutes.

The policy presentations will be broadcast live by Taiwan's four terrestrial
TV channels and on the election commission's website.
