Candidate Forums and Debates

The League of Women Voters mission is empowering voters and defending democracy. LWV Austin Area empowers voters with the information they need to vote in elections by moderating many candidate debates and forums. We are committed to providing fair, nonpartisan candidate forums that are open to the general public.

During the election season, LWV Austin Area frequently hosts candidate forums featuring candidates on local ballot races in the Austin area (County Commissioners, AISD, City Council, etc.).

We welcome the opportunity to work with community organizations as cosponsors. To maintain the integrity of our candidate forums, the League adheres to the LWV' candidate forum policy, which includes a specific format and maintains strict nonpartisanship.

If you are interested in working together to present a forum, please contact us at forum@lwvaustin.org about a co-hosting a forum
