TOMORROW will be the OFFICIAL SENATE DEBATE! The candidates will come to the Greek Theater on Friday, April 23 at 7:00 p.m. to participate in the 3rd Whyville Senate Debate, led by City Hall.
Candidates will answer questions from City Hall one at a time, without interrupting. Depending on what's said, City Hall may allow each of the candidates to respond to the other candidates' comments, when they are finished.
After City Hall's planned questions, we'll take questions from the crowd for a short while. When the official debate is over, the candidates are welcome to stay on stage to continue debating and chatting with their fellow citizens.
A transcript of the debate will appear in the Times in the following day or three, so if you miss out on the debate, be sure to check out the paper before deciding your vote!
The final voting will begin immediately after the debate. This is a NEW round of voting, so you'll need to vote again -- your votes back on the petitions won't count! You'll be able to vote from the announcements page that you get when you first login, so no worries about trying to get into a crowded City Hall. :-)
Remember, the candidates' platforms are in this week's paper, so read up and come with your questions!
To clarify:
The Great Debates! Hosted by the one and only
City Hall on February 18, the Great Debate features Senator candidates answering
the important questions of the day, as provided by citizens and City Workers.
Election Time: Time for everyone to vote! After the debate is over, every
time you log in to Whyville, you'll see a vote screen come up. You only get one vote, so keep that in mind -- whatever your last vote is, that's the one that counts!
Senator Announced: The new Senator will be announced
at the beginning of May, and the swearing-in ceremony will be scheduled shortly afterwards.
The Next Race! Don't forget, we have more than one Senator at a time. That means the next Senate Race is coming soon -- so think about your platforms and write into the Times what you think Whyville politics needs most!
