In a CityNews first, audiences can weigh in during the broadcast on who is winning the debate through a text-to-vote feature powered by Poll Everywhere, as well as through Twitter @CityNews, and CityNews.ca, with real time results featured on television and online. Torontonians and GTAers can also engage in the debate via the live studio audience, Twitter @CityNews, and online at CityNews.ca.
CityVote 2014 gives candidates the opportunity to put each other in the hot seat by asking one question each to an opponent of their choice. The candidates will also face questions from Rogers’s team of trusted political journalists. Following the debate, CityNews anchor Tom Hayes takes on the post-game analysis with 680News political reporter John Stall and Maclean’s reporter Charlie Gillis.
