The League of Women Voters Oakland Area hosts non-partisan candidate forums for contested elections (in LWVOA's service area) prior to elections. The candidate forums give voters the opportunity to ask questions directly of the candidates and hear their answers. Videos, when available, are usually posted within a few days of the forum.

Forums are displayed in date order.
