The League of Women Voters' Candidate Forums are voter education events held in a town hall format. Candidates will speak to the audience in attendance, virtually or physically present, rather than in a debate format, where their attention is focused on each other. While initial questions for the candidates will be from League members, the majority of the questions are generated by the audience themselves. Attendees may submit questions prior to and at their arrival at the event, which are then asked of the candidates by the moderator. This format gives the audience an opportunity to have questions and concerns most important to them answered by those candidates. These voters will be better and more fully informed about the candidates for whom they will shortly cast their votes, always the League’s purpose in holding this and other events.
