Throughout September and early October, LWV chapters all over Minnesota host Candidate Forums to help voters make informed choices when they mark their ballots on Election Day. Details about specific forums are provided below. Forums are promoted through local newspapers, cable TV, city communication channels, LWV and its many partners throughout our communities. Forums are recorded and posted for viewing online through outlets such as the LWV website, city, school district and local cable TV websites and social media.

The public is invited to submit questions for specific candidate forums either on-line in advance of the forum or in-person during the first 30 minutes of the forum.  All candidates will be asked every question.

Send your forum questions to the links listed below and include the forum name in the subject line.

Statement on Candidate Forum Recordings 
The League of Women Voters Minnesota and our local Leagues conduct candidate forums to provide the public with an opportunity to hear candidates discuss the issues that are important to members of the public. The League is a nonpartisan organization that does not support or oppose any political party or candidate. The views expressed in each forum are those of the candidates, not those of the League of Women Voters. LWV Minnesota and our local Leagues post complete, unedited recordings of forums. Editing is authorized only for official media reporting. Excerpts or edited clips of candidate forums may not be used for partisan or political purposes.
