It's been a busy year in city politics, and with close to 20 candidates running for Alexandria City Council, it may be difficult for residents to figure out which candidates best represent your vision for Alexandria.

So, ACTion Alexandria, a nonpartisan citizen engagement platform, is turning the tables on traditional political debates by giving you the starring role in our online forum.

It's your turn to Ask The Candidates!

Post your question for the candidates in ACTion Alexandria's “Ask the City Council Candidates” online forum. ACTion Alexandria will work closely with the candidates, political parties and interested civic organizations to incorporate them into the 2012 election process.

We're happy to announce the Alexandria Democratic Committee agreed to use our forum to solicit questions from the community for the final Democratic primary debate on June 4 (7 p.m. at George Washington Middle School) so don't wait to post your question.

To post your question:

1. Login to ACTion Alexandria (or signup): http://www.actionalexandria.org/register

Even if you don’t post a question, you can vote for the questions you think the candidates should answer. Each registered member of ACTion Alexandria has three votes to assign anyway they choose.
