Candidate forums are a great opportunity for voters to meet their candidates and ask questions and for the candidates to introduce themselves and explain why they’re running for office. The forums are intended to be civil, nonpartisan discussions of the issues and we hope an informative event for voters. All are welcome to attend.
On the day of the forum, doors will open at 5:00 PM for question submissions. Index cards will be provided, and all questions must be written in the form of a question—not as a statement or testimonial. Cards must be submitted no later than 5:45 PM, and the forum will start promptly at 6:00 PM. An impartial moderator will select and read the questions, as well as make decisions about follow-up by candidates.
5:00 PM – venue doors open
5:30 PM – meet and greet
5:45 PM – deadline for question submission
6:00 PM – forum begins
Don’t forget to mark your calendar on Tuesday, November 5 for Election Day.
