The final presidential candidates' televised policy forum before the 2024 election will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday. It will be broadcast by Taiwan Television (TTV) and simultaneously live-streamed on the Central Election Commission's (CEC) website. This marks the candidates’ third encounter within nine days.

The speeches of the three candidates, TPP’s Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), DPP’s Lai Ching-te (賴清德), and KMT’s Hou Yu-ih (侯友宜), will be divided into three rounds of 10 minutes each. Although there are no segments for debate during the policy presentations, the first two sessions saw candidates fiercely defending their positions. 

During the first session, candidates discussed cross-strait issues, national identity, and housing justice. The second session focused on energy-related topics, including nuclear power.

Following the conclusion of the policy presentations, the presidential candidates' televised debate is scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m., while the vice-presidential candidates' debate is set for January 1 at 2 p.m.
