Do you find your voter's pamphlet to be a bit too impersonal? Want the opportunity to really get to know what's on your ballot, top to bottom? Join us for an interactive viewing party for the Presidential debate and Governor debate where you can weigh in with your opinions. Sit down at the interview booth and tell us your opinions on the debates and where you think the state should be headed. Stick around to meet local candidates and initiative representatives and enter our raffle to win tickets to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deck the Hall Ball or the Battle in Seattle at KeyArena. Enjoy the beer/wine garden and local food while discussing the pros and cons of issues and candidates with fellow citizens. While you decide how to vote, don't just rely on the election material each candidate and initiative has sent you, come and meet them and ask that question that's been on your mind!
 
This event is FREE and open to all ages.
