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 two minutes to present an opening statement, in alphabetical order.

 Questions will be chosen in advance by the League for appropriateness and relevance from those solicited from League members as well as community members and non-partisan groups.

The moderator will ask questions in rotation so that each candidate has 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.
