If you have questions for the candidates, please submit them to voterservice@wheatonlwvil.org.

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization and does not support or endorse candidates but does sponsor candidate forums as a service to the voters of the community.  

At the forum, the candidates will each give a one-minute opening statement. Candidates will have an opportunity to respond to questions that have been submitted in advance of the forum. Questions will be screened to avoid duplication. Candidates will have one minute to respond to each question. League members will time candidate’s responses to ensure equity. Following the question period, each candidate will have one minute to make a closing statement. Candidates must be present; a candidate’s representative will not be allowed to make a statement.

Join us at the Wheaton Public Library Friday, March 3, from 10 a.m. till Noon when the League of Women Voters of Wheaton will be presenting a children's program, "Voting Is Your Superpower - Making Democracy Work." Even though children aren't old enough to vote, they're not too young to learn about democracy and voting because children's opinions matter! Children will learn through hands-on activities. No registration for this event is needed; stop by the Wheaton Library with children (K-5) to learn about voting and democracy together. Note: This program is intended for children and their caregivers to participate together; drop offs are not allowed.
