LWV Election Videos
Sometimes, you want to see and hear a candidate before you vote for them!
For many local and state elections, we offer videos of Election Forums with candidate debates, as well as ballot measure explanations, pros and cons.
Especially for Primary and General Elections, we also offer a Video Voters’ Guide, which has videos of interviews with many of the candidates for state and local offices.
Our recordings of the forums and candidate interviews are produced with the help of MetroEast Community Media. They are available for online streaming from our YouTube channel and also cablecast by MetroEast.
