Meet the Candidates! Fall 2026 Candidate Forums in King County
Many of our community partners are hosting candidate forums for elected office around King County this fall. These discussions will help you make some important decisions for the Nov. 3 general election – for Congress, the Washington state legislature, King County Council, and city/local positions. (We will also vote on some major initiatives this fall.)
While you’ll also see candidate forums and debates being hosted by major news organizations, political organizations, and others, we’re focusing here on our community partners and community media.
If your community organization is hosting a candidate forum that’s not listed here, please send it to us!
For more information about the general election, visit the King County Elections website. It’s available in multiple languages. There, you can learn how to register to vote, how to submit your ballot, and more.
If you’re not sure what district you live in, you can visit another extremely helpful web page, King County Find My District. Enter your address, and find out your district for Congressional, legislative, county, and in some cases city elections.
