Get all the latest and let YOUR voice be heard

You see and hear it everywhere. The elections this year are highly contested and are taking center stage in discussions throughout the state and the country. Where can you get the most information to make your decision? How can you let candidates, and everyone else, know what issues are most important to you? DPTV can help you with both!

Vice Presidential Candidates Debate Thursday 10/2
To get to know the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, DPTV is bringing you the debates live, uninterrupted and commercial free! Tonight, the greatly anticipated debate between the Vice Presidential candidates will be broadcast from St. Louis from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Catch every second and every expression as Biden and Palin debate the issues and explain why their party is the right choice for your vote.

The historic Presidential election isn’t the only decision you need to make this year though. There are many hotly contested state seats up for grabs this year as well. With plenty of coverage on the National election, how do you learn more about your LOCAL choices? The Great Debates is how! Sundays from 3 PM to 5: 30 PM DPTV is airing a series of debates between candidates for the State House of Representatives arguing their plans for Michigan and reasons why voters should send them to Lansing. This week, candidates from District 22, 33, 25, 24 and 20 are featured in 30 minute debates. Best of all, you can view all the Great Debates online at DPTV.org on-demand. Not sure of your District? All debates are listed in Archives and specify what area the district covers so you can watch just your district debate or watch them all to learn about all the candidates who want to win votes to serve in Lansing.

Looking for that one stop where you can see the debates, listen to what others are thinking and let others know what your important issues are? Look no further than the new MiVote site! This site is presented by DPTV and U of M Dearborn and is the perfect place to get updated on the issues both federal and state, get the latest on political news, debate your choice with others and even upload your own comments about the issues that matter to you most. With the deadline to register coming up on Monday, you can even find out how to register to vote so you’re ready for the election in November.

Lots of resources to help you become an informed voter and to make your voice heard as far as your major issues this election season. DPTV is happy to help bring you the information you need.
