For voters

[edit]

While the discussion phase is underway, voters are invited to review, question, and discuss candidates. To facilitate their discussions and judgements, voters are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the candidates. This can be done through reading the candidate statements, the answers to the questions put to each candidate, and the discussion of each candidate. Theleekycauldron and Pickersgill-Cunliffe will monitor this phase.
