YouTube to present voter questions to PM candidates: Questions with the highest ratings will be asked in person to the candidates.

(Globes Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dec. 25--YouTube and Channel 2 News will launch a joint interactive elections website where people can pose questions to the candidates for prime minister in Israel's upcoming elections. YouTube and Channel 2 News have been working together for two months.



The Israeli campaign is based on YouTube's collaboration with CNN in the US presidential elections, and adapted for the Israeli electoral system. For the US campaign, Google and YouTube engineers jointly formulated the model, and were responsible for the Internet debate.

For the Israeli campaign, people will be invited to submit questions recorded on camera to YouTube Israel. YouTube will conduct a competition of the questions, and five questions rated the highest by surfers and the Channel 2 News online editors will be directed to the three prime ministerial candidates. The final voting on the questions will be on January 11, and the winners will be announced a week later.

The people whose questions are picked will be invited to the Channel 2 newsroom to ask their questions in person to the candidates.

Google Israel said that the online elections channel is unique and the first of its kind. The goals are to provide voters with an innovative platform for asking candidates about burning questions on contemporary issues, connect voters and candidates, and encourage voters' involvement.
