Two forums for Lawrence City Commission candidates are scheduled for this week.

The Grassroots Action group will play host to a candidate forum at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. The forum will feature a debate-style format where candidates will be asked questions by a moderator but also will be allowed to ask questions of each other.

Candidates are scheduled to participate in a second forum at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Lawrence High School, 19th and Louisiana streets. The forum is sponsored by the Voter Education Coalition, a group of businesses and organizations that have banded together to put on candidate forums.

The Wednesday forum also will include the candidates for the Lawrence school board. That portion of the forum will begin at 8 p.m.

The election is April 3.
