On October 8, 2016 from 2-5 pm, The Muslim American Public Affairs Council in Association with the Islamic Association of Raleigh, will sponsor a Town Hall Meeting for candidates for legislative and Council of State offices to be elected in November. 

Due to the large number of candidates on the ballot this November, there will be 3 Town Hall Meetimgs in Wake County, each hosting a different set of candidates. The October 8 event will focus on candidates for the United States and the State of North Carolina House of Representatives. The meeting will be held at the Islamic Association of Raleigh's Raleigh Mosque near the N. C. State Campus. All Muslim residents in the Triangle area are urged to come.

Candidates will be given an opportunity to make prepared statements explaining who they are and why they feel they should be elected, then there will be a refreshment and snack break where the candidates can mingle with the Muslim community members in attendance and hear their views. The social/snack break will be followed by a formal, moderated question and answer session during which time candidates will be asked to answer questions from the audience.
