The League of Women Voters of Champaign County, along with ILVOTE of Champaign County, NAACP Champaign County Branch, Bend the Arc Jewish Action: Champaign-Urbana, Indivisible Rural Illinois, and the News-Gazette are hosting a town hall style forum on February 26th from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. It will feature candidates for Champaign Mayor, Champaign City Council, and Unit 4 School Board.

They are inviting community members to submit questions ahead of time through an online form. The deadline to submit is February 15th.

The forum will take place at the Champaign Public Library, in Robeson rooms A and B. Candidates for each race will have a block of time where they can deliver a prepared statement, then participate in a Q&A. The last half hour of the event will be an informal meet and greet.
