Candidates
Debates and All Candidate Meeting Recordings
Debates and all-candidates meetings are interactive events where candidates running for a position answer rounds of questions. They allow you to compare candidates side by side, and are the most effective way to quickly compare candidates.
If you don’t have time to watch an entire recording, watch 2-3 rounds of questions in the middle of the meeting. Alternatively, you can listen to the audio of a debate like a podcast while walking or doing chores.
