The Utah Debate Commission will host a day of back-to-back debates this month for the state’s three federal races with contested primaries.
“It is a lot of debates in a short amount of time, but it just made logistical sense on our end,” said commission spokeswoman Nena Slighting.
The three events, all slated for Tuesday, May 29, will be held at KBYU Studios, 600 E. University Parkway, at Brigham Young University’s campus in Provo. The first starts at 10 a.m, the last at 6 p.m.
With the cost of studio space — and an audience that largely streams online — Slighting said the commission decided to group the primary debates together but will separate the events for the general election.
