FORUM VIDEOS
As an election approaches, the League of Women Voters of Richardson decides whether or not to hold candidate forums for races. Sometimes our forums are cosponsored by other local Leagues and/or by local organizations. The candidate forums provide an opportunity for candidates to participate in a non-partisan question-and-answer session before delivering closing remarks.

RECORDING POLICY
To ensure that the public has access to information that is not manipulated to create false or misleading impressions by a candidate's campaign, the League of Women Voters of Richardson publishes unedited video of our candidate forums. The forums are shown in their entirety, whether on the Internet or public access television.
CANDIDATE FORUM PROCESS
The goal of the League of Women Voters of Richardson (LWV-R) in conducting candidate forums is to provide information directly from the candidates about their positions on a variety of issues, so that voters can make an informed, responsible choice when voting. This article is an attempt to explain the process LWV-R uses to plan and conduct its forums.
