LWV Forums

Who would hire an employee without interviewing them first? Candidates running for public office are applying for a job. Forums are like job interviews, and the voters are the ones hiring.


The League of Women Voters has a long history of conducting Forums. We work to provide a platform for voters to learn about who and what will be on their ballot. 



To make our Forums more accessible we have moved to an online format, which is available live via Zoom and then uploaded to our YouTube channel and accessible online via the links below.
