— from the League of Women Voters of the San Juans (LWV-SJ) —

Once again, the League of Women Voters of the San Juans will sponsor forums where candidates and speakers on ballot issues will address the public, and take questions.

The schedule is as follows:

  • Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 5 p.m. on San Juan Island at the Grange in Friday Harbor.
  • Wednesday, Oct. 8 on Orcas Island at 5 p.m. at the Fire Hall in Eastsound.
  • Thursday, Oct. 9 on Lopez Island at 5 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church.

The LWV-SJ has invited the candidates for Federal Representatives, State Legislators, and County Treasurer, Clerk and Sheriff.

There are five initiatives on the November ballot. At this time, it is unclear whether proponents and opponents of the measures will be in attendance at the forums.

The deadline for registration for the Nov. 4 election is October 6. For further information about the Nov. 4 election, go to  wa.gov/county/sanjuan/elections, email elections@sanjuanco.com or phone (360) 378-3357.
