The League of Women Voters of Montezuma County will hold a CandiDating event for Cortez City Council candidates on Thursday, March 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the County Annex on Chestnut Street and Montezuma Avenue.

Because there are 14 candidates, the League is not doing a traditional type of forum.

CandiDating is modeled after speed dating.

The event will begin with candidates introducing themselves and answering brief questions from the League. Then candidates will move to one of 14 tables where audience members will be seated. They will spend four minutes answering questions at that table and then move on to the next table. The questions will be asked and answered quickly, so candidates can meet with voters at each table.

Voters are encouraged to think of questions about city government before they arrive at the event. There will not be time for discussion or speeches.
