Voters of all races will have a chance to ask questions of candidates running for statewide and local offices at a "meet and greet" sponsored by the Salt Lake Branch of the NAACP.
Branch president Jeanetta Williams said the discussion will center on civil rights issues, including education and economic development.
The forum will be at 6 p.m. Monday at the Utah State Bar Law and Justice Center, 645 S. 200 East.
Williams said those attending will include gubernatorial candidates Jon Huntsman Jr., Republican, and Democrat Scott Matheson Jr., Republican Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and Democratic challenger Greg Skordas, and others.
