You may submit candidate questions for the General Election. The goal is to have candidates answer questions only one time—we don't want the Primary candidates who answered questions to have to answer more questions. Please only submit questions for races that didn't have any questions available for candidates in the Primary.
The deadline to submit questions for General Election candidates is September 10th.
For clarification on crafting questions for candidates or to submit candidate questions, email: vote411questions@lwvwa.org.
Additional items:
- Please provide no more than 5 questions for the candidates to answer.
- If you submit more than 5 questions per race, please identify which questions are most important to your county. Questions will be edited down to 5 for each race.
- If questions were submitted for a candidate during the Primary Election, please don't submit questions again for those candidates for the General Election. We only want candidates to answer questions one time during the election season.
Ideas and sample questions from LWVUS are available here.
