Both debates will be held over two consecutive nights, given the growing size of the Dem field. No hard date, city or venue for either was announced.

They will be the first of 12 debates that the DNC announced in December. Six will be held this year and six more in 2020. Participation on a particular night will be determined by a public random selection rather than being based on standing in the polls.

“We’ve spent months working with media partners to provide this unprecedented opportunity for candidates and voters to get to know each other,” DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a statement. “Because campaigns are won on the strength of their grassroots, we’ve also updated the threshold, giving all types of candidates the opportunity to reach the debate stage and giving small-dollar donors a bigger voice in the primary than ever before.

To qualify, a candidate will need to have at least 1% support in three qualifying polls or provide evidence of at least $65,000 individual donations from a minimum of 200 different donors in at least 20 states. NBC News added that if more than 20 candidates reach one of those two qualifications, the top 20 will be selected by using a separate method that rewards contenders for meeting both thresholds, followed by highest polling averages and then the most unique donors.

Following the two summer debates, the next ones will be held in September, October, November and December this year. The final debate is set for April 2020, about two months before the Democratic National Convention.

The debates will be translated in real time into Spanish on Telemundo.

“We are honored to be the first Spanish-language network to bring the first democratic presidential primary debate to the U.S. Hispanic audience, right here from our own back yard,” said Cesar Conde, Chairman, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises. “We will leverage all our resources at our Miami headquarters Telemundo Center to make sure we provide the most comprehensive and robust coverage of these important debates, in the language our audience prefers. We are living at a critical time that could redefine the role of the Hispanic community in our country. We want to ensure Hispanics are engaged and have access to trustworthy, reliable and relevant information to make decisions from the moment the 2020 electoral cycle starts.”
