LISBON — The town will host a candidates forum Tuesday evening for those seeking election to the Town Council, School Committee and Water Commission.

It will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Town Office.

There are six candidates for three council seats of three years each: Jo-Jean Keller, Heather Curtis, Clifford Miller, Harry Moore, Raymond Robishaw and Lorelei Hilliker.

Jason Smith is the only candidate for the one-year Town Council seat.

Seeking two seats on the School Committee for three years each are Kimberly Labbe-Poisson, Leonard Lednum and Margaret Galligan-Schmoll.

Marie Hale and Miriam Morgan-Alexander are Water Commission candidates for three-year terms.

Town officials asked each candidate to give written answers to these following questions:

• What are your qualifications for the office you seek?

• What motivated you to run for the office you seek?

• Do you have sufficient time/energy to devote to this position?

• With one or two meetings a month, all boards are limited in what they can accomplish, how should the board decide what is most important?

• Think of an issue facing Lisbon that you care about. Do you have a positive solution you want to bring forth?

The responses will be available at the forum.

Voters will have an opportunity to ask questions and must state them withing a minute or less. Each answer will be limited to a minute. Candidate names will be called by the moderator in the order that they appear on the ballot.

At 7:30 p.m. candidates will be given the opportunity to provide a one-minute summation.
