The League of Women Voters (LWV) offers candidate forums as a Voters Service Project, so that information about the candidates will be offered on the issues that are relevant to the elected position. Forums are carefully structured with fairness to give each candidate an equal amount of time and opportunity to present their views across a broad range of topics and to answer questions from the public in attendance. Those who do not respond to the League's invitation to participate in a non-partisan forum miss out on this opportunity to make their views widely known to the voters.
