How a Candidate Forum Works

All candidate forums are run by trained, nonpartisan, and out-of-district moderators. Candidates are given equal time to answer each question.

Each candidate will have two 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 and community members. Questions are not shared with the candidates before the forum.

The moderator will ask questions in rotation so that a different candidate will have the opportunity to be the first to answer. Candidates will each have up to two minutes to answer each question.

After the questions are completed, each candidate will have two 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.
