Among other rules announced by CBS, it will be up to the candidates to remain honest with one another during Tuesday's debate – a sticking point in previous debates this year.

In the June debate between Trump and Biden, CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash limited follow-up questions and did not fact-check any of the participants.

In the September debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis weighed in with factual corrections to some of Trump's most egregious misrepresentations.

According to moderator CBS, both campaigns agreed to a 90-minute debate with two four-minute commercial breaks.

According to CBS, contestants who are not allowed to bring pre-written notes or props on stage will have two minutes to answer a question and two minutes to respond. They are given one minute to rebut.

At the moderators' discretion, candidates may be given an additional minute to continue the discussion, CBS said.

The two sides agreed that the candidates' microphones would remain on while their opponent spoke, unlike the two presidential debates. CBS says it reserves the right to turn off a hot mic if necessary.

Each candidate has two minutes to make a closing statement. Vance won a virtual coin toss and will speak last.
