Candidate Forums

Hear Directly from the Candidates

The League of Women Voters has a long history of hosting nonpartisan candidate forums as part of our mission to educate voters. Every election season Leagues across the country hold hundreds of candidate debates and forums. We do not endorse candidates or parties, but we do facilitate candidate forums, either as sponsors or in collaboration with other organizations, so that voters can ask questions of the candidates and learn about their views and intentions.

Attending or watching a candidate is one of the best ways to prepare for casting your ballot. Check our calendar in the left column for upcoming candidate forums.

If you missed a forum you can view the replays on our YouTube channel here.

Please note that no campaign signs, banners, buttons, clothing or campaign literature is allowed in the forum room. Campaign materials may be made available in a designated area outside the forum room. The League reserves the right to refuse entry to any attendee or candidate who wears clothing that could be considered to be political or otherwise disruptive to the forum.
