League of Women Voters Piedmont to host candidate forums on Oct. 1

Join the League of Women Voters of Piedmont (LWVP) on October 1, 2024, for two candidate forums. They will feature candidates who will be on the ballot for Piedmont residents in the November 5, 2024, General Election.

The forum for City Council will be held on Zoom at 6:00 p.m., and the forum for the Board of Education, at 7:30 p.m. Both forums will also be livestreamed on KCOM.

About the forums:

Piedmont voters can learn more about the City Council and Board of Education forums at lwvpiedmont.org. Registration is required to attend the live virtual forums. After each forum, the recording will be available on our website and on our YouTube channel.

Each forum will be moderated by a League representative and will include questions from the public. Prior to the forum, you may submit a question by filling out the online form on the event description pages on LWVP’s website.

Questions will be screened by a team of League members to ensure a range of topics and issues.
