The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County has partnered with the DuPage NAACP to host
a hybrid forum on September 27th featuring candidates competing in the November 8th General Election for Kane
County Offices and seats on the Kane County Board.

    The forum will take place at 6:30pm on Tuesday, September 27th at the Geneva Public Library, 227 S. 7th Street in
Geneva and will be live streamed and available for later viewing on the BATV YouTube Channel.

    A recording of the forum will also be posted to the websites of the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County
(https://my.lwv.org/illinois/central-kane-county) and the DuPage NAACP (http://dupagecountynaacp.org/).

    A recording will also be posted to the IL Voter Guide (https://illinoisvoterguide.org/).
The forum will be divided into four segments:
1. Kane County Board Districts 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 18
2. Kane County Clerk
3. Kane County Treasurer
4. Kane County Sheriff

    During the appropriate segment, each candidate is given one minute for an opening statement. Following opening
statements, each candidate will have an opportunity to respond to questions submitted in advance or asked by the
viewing audience. Audience questions will be pre-screened by a team of League members for appropriateness
prior to asking. The candidates will be permitted up to one minute for each response. At the end of a segment,
each candidate will have up to one minute for a closing statement.

    According to Patti Lackman, Voter Service Chair of the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County, “The
