Debates - Apply to Be an Audience Member




HE KUED DEBATES Provide an important component that sets them apart-- along with moderator questions to candidates, our debates feature questions from audience members.

Our audience is made up of a broad range of voters including university students, members or employees of VoteUtah partner organizations, and those applied to be in the audience. In this way, a broad range of issues is addressed.

Our producers, at their sole discretion, make the final determination of audience make-up, but must follow this guideline: that the audience as closely as possible represent the entire group of voters in the election.

Audience members in a Congressional debate come from that Congressional district. And, to make the audience is a group of "average citizens" whose only agenda is to find out what the candidates think, no one who works for or is referred by any campaign or party, or who is a major contributor to a campaign or party, can participate.

How to Apply to be in the audience

Call 801-581-3272 or email Cheryl Niederhauser (cniederhauser@kued.org) with:

  • Your name,
  • Address,
  • Phone number,
  • Congressional district,
  • Which debate you are interested in, and
  • a statement certifying lack of close involvement (as opposed to just being a member or a minor contributor) with a campaign or party.

Please send only one e-mail for all debates you're interested in. Those not selected should not count on receiving any response, but we will try to let you know either way.
