How do you stay informed with local politics? One of our favorite local resources is CivicLex, an nonpartisan nonprofit that educates + reports on relevant government news. Just in time for election season, the team is giving you the opportunity to ask candidates the important questions at its Candidate Forum Series.

Throughout the next several weeks, you can RSVP to meet candidates running for District Council, who will be available for question-and-answer sessions starting at 6 p.m. Psst, if you don’t know your district, check here.

Here are the upcoming forums:

  • Wednesday, Sept. 11 | Districts 4 + 8 | Tates Creek High School
  • Wednesday, Sept. 25 | Districts 5 + 7 | Henry Clay High School
  • Wednesday, Oct. 9 | Districts 1 + 12 | Bryan Station High School

Not registered to vote? No problem. The League of Women Voters will also be there with all the information you need to know about voting.
