Third-party candidates shut out of Monday’s final presidential debate will once again have the chance to be heard on a special live, expanded broadcast of “Democracy Now!” starting at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time (5:30 p.m. Pacific time).

The program will give Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Justice Party candidate Rocky Anderson equal time to respond to questions raised during the official debate. A 30-minute pre-debate round-table discussion will kick off the event.

“Democracy Now!’s” first two debate specials, conducted in a similar format, can be seen here and here. The vice presidential debate is viewable here.
