Every September, Bloomington residents can become more informed voters at candidate forums sponsored by the League of Women Voters Bloomington. These forums allow residents to see and hear from local candidates directly.
A trained moderator from the League asks questions submitted by Bloomington voters, ensuring they address voter concerns. Candidate statements are timed to ensure equal speaking time for all participants. Candidates and residents can meet and greet after each forum. The forums have a history of being well received by both candidates and voters.
