The League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge is sponsoring a Candidate Forums to be held on Thursday, Oct. 8, at Roane State Community Campus, Goff room 107.  The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 6:00 pm. Candidates invited include those running for the following offices:  State Senate District 5; State House Districts 32 and 33; Anderson County Commission District 8; Oak Ridge School Board; and Oak Ridge City Council. Moderator Phil Yager will guide candidates through opening statements, answers to written questions from the audience, and closing statements.  Most candidates will be present after the forum to talk to constituents. 

Training sessions for poll observers.  LWV observers will learn how to document any process issues that impede voters' access to the ballot at polling sites. These reports will also help re-confirm for the public the majority of times the election process goes smoothly.  As an additional incentive this year, your local league will receive $25 for each recorded observation from poll observers.

LWVTN will be repeating our training sessions on the following nights:

Dates: Mondays, October 12, 19, and 26.
