MPT's Vote 2024 coverage – including our flagship public affairs programs Direct Connection and State Circle – offers balanced reporting and valuable insights about government and political news of importance to our viewers. Election coverage on our statewide public television network incorporates a wide range of on-air guests ranging from the candidates and their representatives to government leaders, credible political analysts, and other newsmakers.
