How a Candidate Forum Works

All candidate forums are run by trained, non-partisan moderators. Equal time is given to all candidates to answer each question.

Each candidate will have three minutes to present an opening statement, alphabetically.

Questions will be chosen in advance by the League for appropriateness and relevance from those solicited from League members.

The moderator will ask questions in rotation so that candidates alternate who will be the first to answer. Candidates will each have up to three minutes to answer each question.

After the questions are completed, each candidate will have three minutes to provide a closing statement.

No surrogates are permitted to participate. An uncontested forum, that is, one with only one candidate, is not permitted.
