GAMC provides candidates with an opportunity to communicate directly with informed voters in a setting focused on issues rather than campaign slogans.

Candidate profiles, voter guides, and community discussions help voters better understand each candidate's priorities, qualifications, and positions before casting their ballots.

Candidates may create a voter guide profile that can include:

• Biography
• Photograph
• Campaign priorities
• Policy positions
• Contact information
• Campaign website
• Optional campaign video

These materials become part of election-specific voter guides available to voters throughout the election season.

Yes.

Candidates are encouraged to participate respectfully in discussions, answer questions from voters, clarify their positions, and engage in productive civic dialogue.

Forum discussions are intended to encourage meaningful conversations rather than campaign advertising, giving voters the opportunity to better understand the people seeking public office.

Election officials may register as official representatives and use the site to contribute information that helps voters stay informed throughout the election process.

Authorized election officials may upload or update information such as:

• Candidate lists
• Election schedules
• Sample ballots
• Election results
• Official notices
• Public announcements

Providing timely official information helps ensure voters have access to accurate election resources from trusted sources.

State, county, and local party officials play an important role in helping voters and candidates stay informed throughout the election process.

Party officials may:

• Encourage candidates to create voter guide profiles
• Share official party announcements and notices
• Help communicate election information to local candidates
• Support civic engagement throughout the election cycle

Our goal is to provide another avenue for communication between voters, candidates, and party leadership while maintaining the forum's commitment to respectful civic discussion.

Candidates who complete their voter guide profile, participate in forum discussions, and engage respectfully with community members are more likely to help voters understand their qualifications, priorities, and positions on important issues.

Our goal is not simply greater visibility, but more meaningful conversations between candidates and the communities they hope to serve.

Yes. Campaign staff or authorized representatives may assist candidates in maintaining their voter guide information and responding to community questions, provided they have the candidate's authorization.
