VOTER SERVICES ZOOM WORKSHOPS: EMPTY CHAIR DEBATES

empty chair
Saturday, April 23, 2022 - 10:00am to 11:30am

Voter Services includes many services that Leagues across the country provide to their communities. Among these is a service of critical importance: candidate forums and debates. But what happens when candidates don’t show up?

The first workshop, on Saturday, April 2, will feature Maggie Bush from the LWVUS, Mike Bay of TVW (Washington's public affairs network), and a representative from the Public Disclosure Commission (invited). They will talk about the various issues to consider as Leagues navigate our hyperpartisan environment. The second workshop, on Saturday, April 23, will offer ideas about how to successfully communicate the value of forums and debates with candidates, the media, and your community.
