The League of Women Voters sponsors and/or moderates public forums to introduce candidates and provide information on measures appearing on the ballot.

Televised Educational Forums and Government Meetings

AGP Video's SLO-SPAN network televises government meetings throughout the year, as well as forums during election season. It is an invaluable outlet for keeping government open and accessible to the public. League encourages individuals to watch these government meetings and forums to be a more fully informed citizen. The programs are aired live and replayed on countywide cable television Charter Channel 2 and 21. The schedule of televised meetings may be found at http://www.slospan.org.
