This topic involves how we learn about candidates for elections.
For my Learning About Candidates discussion guide, I use an adaptation of a Living Room Conversation (https://www.livingroomconversations.org/). Discussions organized by the Living Room Conversations organization usually have 6 people, but since they are open source I wrote a version for 2 people: LRC 2 people

When an election is coming up, how do you learn about the candidates?
Are there things you’d like to know about candidates that are difficult to find out?
How many of the races do you usually vote in, for primary elections or final elections, or for national, state, or local candidates?
How much time would you want to spend researching candidates vs. other political actions such as reading up on issues, voicing your opinion, or choosing actions?
