You have to sign up, but it is simple to do, and they don't require you to do the annoying confirm your email by clicking a link they send you bit.
The currently submitted questions are divided into categories and you can browse them by "Trending", "Newest" or "Most Votes" and vote on the ones you like. You can also submit new questions.

Search and vote for questions about issues that are important to you! The "town hall" debate will feature questions from the Internet -- ABC and CNN moderators agreed to consider the Top 30 questions voted up on this site! Watch the debate right here on Sunday, Oct. 9, at 9pm EDT to find out if they chose yours! NOTE: Questions must not name or allude to a candidate and must be able to be posed to either candidate.
Here are a few I voted for:

(34,136 posts)You can change the order of the questions from the default "Random" to most or fewest votes, newest or oldest questions, or trending now. They can merge questions so don't worry about voting for the same subject. The site will retain your vote so when you go back you will not be voting multiple times for the same question - I suspect that if you've voted for two questions that are merged your double votes will be also.
Yes, you do have to register to vote. So far I've only gotten one email, showing the status of ten of the questions I have voted for. There is a link in the email to unsubscribe so if you don't want to get more emails, just hit that and get off their list.
I went all the way through the list the other night - I hope some important subjects get considered for the presidential town hall!
