LWVNCSD provides fair, nonpartisan Candidate Forums — in-person, virtually, and hybrid — that are conducted by trained moderators. Candidate Forums allow the public to hear from candidates directly in an impartial setting.
CARLSBAD, Calif. – July 16, 2024 – The League of Women Voters of North County San Diego (LWVNCSD) has announced that they are now scheduling community forums to educate voters about candidates for local races and ballot propositions in preparation for the November 5, 2024 General Election. As a nonpartisan community organization with a mission to encourage informed and active public participation in government at all levels, the League plays an important role during election years when significant policy matters will be decided.
LWVNCSD’s most widely requested program is their presentations on ballot propositions called Pros & Cons. These presentations provide a nonpartisan, unbiased summary of each state and local ballot initiative, including explanations about their financial impact, a list of the proposition’s key supporters and opponents, and information about financial contributions made to support or oppose the proposition.
In partnership with community organizations, LWVNCSD also provides fair, nonpartisan Candidate Forums, conducted by trained moderators. Candidate Forums allow the public to hear directly from candidates in an impartial setting. The public, the audience and any sponsoring organizations are invited to submit questions for the participating candidates. Each candidate receives equal time to respond to the questions asked by the moderator, as well as equal time for opening and closing statements.
The Candidate Forums and Pros & Cons presentations are available as in-person, hybrid or virtual events via Zoom webinar, with a capacity of up to 500 attendees that can be recorded for posting online. LWVNCSD will work with interested civic groups and organizations to determine the best platform for their respective audiences.
