Sub-Series I: Candidate Debates and Forums

Scope and content:

This sub-series contains tips and guides on holding debates and forums, and logistic information on various debates and forums sponsored by the League. Debates and forums include the 1984 and 1987 Senatorial debates, 1986 and 1988 Congressional debates, Presidential debates for 1976, 1980, and 1988, and information on the 1979 Candidates forum in Fredericksburg. It should be noted that the League of Women Voters U.S. decided to pull out of the 1988 Presidential Debates because of perceived fraud in the debate format. Information about this is included as well. Local Hampton Roads candidate forums from the 1990s and 2000s are also included.
