Election Day is Tuesday, November 2!
To help Wilton voters make an educated choice in the upcoming municipal election, the Wilton League of Women Voters, along with our co-sponsors the Wilton Library and GOOD Morning Wilton will host two events at which voters will hear from candidates running for positions on the Board of Selectmen, the Board of Education, the Board of Finance, and the Planning and Zoning Commission.
These forums will bring together on one stage the candidates in four contested races to provide an opportunity for voters to pose questions and hear from the candidates who will be making critical town decisions in upcoming years.
On Wednesday, Oct. 20, the forum will feature the candidates running for the Board of Education and Planning & Zoning. On Monday, Oct. 25, the forum will feature the candidates running for the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance. Both events will start at 7 p.m. with a very brief break between the two panels for each evening, ending at 9:15 p.m.
Both events will follow a modified town hall format and both will be moderated by League of Women Voters-certified, out-of-town moderators who will present questions submitted by the public in written form. GOOD Morning Wilton will live-stream the events from Wilton Library’s Brubeck Room.
Note: these events are only being live-streamed; there will be no live audience in the Brubeck Room. Constituents may submit questions to the candidates to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
