Candidate Forums

2026 Primary Election Candidate Forums -- Thursday, July 9 and Thursday, July 16, 6 p.m.

Our nonpartisan forums are your chance to hear candidates' views on important issues before you cast your vote in the August 4 primary election.

 We'll hold a forum for the Island County assessor, auditor and clerk positions on July 9, and for Legislative District 10 state representatives, Island County commissioner and sheriff on July 16.

Our forums are held online on Zoom. This lets us reach more Whidbey voters across the island, and it means our events can be recorded and shared afterward for anyone to watch.

We'll post the Zoom links for this year's forums on our home page a few days before the events. Links to the recordings will be posted here soon after the live events.
