Jefferson chapter helping sponsor metro council candidate debates
The Jefferson County KFTC Chapter, Louisville Urban League Young Professionals, FORward Radio, Zones of Hope, Louisville Black Lawyers Association, University of Louisville’s Malcolm X Debate Team, HOPE by HOPE and several neighborhood associations will host the Open Mic Debate Series the week before the May 17 Primary Election.
These Metro Council candidate debates will take place with candidates in Metro Council Districts 2, 4 and 6.
The purpose of the Open Mic Debate Series is to improve voter turnout in Metro Council Districts 2, 4 and 6 by educating and empowering voters leading up to the May 2016 primary election.
Organizers were spurred to plan these events after the low voter turnout during the November 2015 general election. Candidates in all three districts have been invited to the debates and will be asked questions developed by KFTC and solicited from the audience during the events.
2016 Primary Election Voter Outreach
Our democracy works best when all people have access to good information and are able to participate in decisions affecting their lives and communities. Unfortunately, less than 35% of registered Jefferson County voters reached the polls for the November 2015 election.
