Middle Tennessee State University and the League of Women Voters announce that the planned Sept. 20 gubernatorial forum on the MTSU campus has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts for the candidates.

Tennessee’s gubernatorial race will be decided in the general election set for Tuesday, Nov. 6, featuring Democratic nominee Karl Dean and Republican nominee Bill Lee. Early voting runs Oct. 17 through Nov. 1. The new governor will replace outgoing Gov. Bill Haslam, who is term limited.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Learn more at https://www.lwv.org.
