The InMaricopa.com General Election Town Hall is set for Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Maricopa High School’s Performing Arts Center.

State and local candidates will discuss the issues with their opponents and take questions from the public ahead of the Nov. 6 election. The event is free to attend. RSVP at MaricopaEvents.com.

In a survey of attendees after the Primary Election Town Hall, more than 90 percent said the event affected the way they would vote.

“The opportunity for political candidates to engage with prospective voters about issues the voters care about is a priceless element of our democracy,” InMaricopa Editor Raquel Hendrickson said. “So, we encourage voters and candidates to bring thoughtful discussion points to help highlight the differences between the campaigns.”

The morning block starting at 10 a.m. will have candidates for state house and senate for Legislative District 11. The afternoon block starting at noon will have candidates for Arizona Corporation Commission, constable and more offices.

The rules for candidates and audience alike are simple: Be respectful, be succinct and stay on topic.

The town hall is in partnership with Maricopa High School and Be Awesome Youth Coalition.

Doors open at 9:45 a.m. A LEGO pool supervised by Be Awesome Youth Coalition volunteers will be available for children whose parents wish to attend.
