Below is the information and questions that will be sent out to the candidates.
As articles are put forward, those questions will be added and an email to all candidates will be sent.

  Thank you for signing up for a elected position in this upcoming election.

  No matter what position you are running for you believe that you can
  make a difference for our community.

  merrimackvotes.org would like to offer you a way to present yourself to
  the community.

  We feel providing the voters will a consistent format will allow them to
  better understand the candidates.

  Below are general questions to start off.  After the final ballots for
  School District and Town are available, a follow up set of questions will
  be sent out asking for your view on each ballot question.  The MVD
  candidates will be asked for their views on the warrant once it becomes
  available.


  Here are some details before the questions start:

  1) Merrimackvotes does not endorse or promote any candidate or ballot
     question.

  2) Responses will appear verbatim given the follow the following rules:

    a) If the content exceeds the limit, it will be truncated.
    b) Formatting such as bold or italic will be removed.

  3) Each candidate's responses will be presented using the same format.

  4) Non-answered questions will cause the text "No Response" to appear.

  5) If a candidate chooses not to respond at all, when their name appears
     on the list, a page will be displayed stating that no response was
     received.

  6) Efforts will be made to contact each candidate who has not already
     responded to the request for information present on the
     merrimackvotes.org main page.

  7) Candidates addresses and phone numbers are public record, however,
     merrimackvotes.org will not be displaying that information.
     Candidates may put their address in the free-formating text section
     of the questions.  The reasoning behind this policy is that people have
     enough of a hard time keeping themselves off the internet, and this site
     does not want to add to that problem.  We know we are in Merrimack, we
     know we can make a phone call to the Town Hall, Village District or School
     Superintendent's office and get their information.

  8) Candidates may optionally provide their email addresses to be
     displayed but they will not be requested or listed on the site unless
     the candidate specifically authorizes it.

  9) Candidates will be given one opportunity to modify their responses
     as they appear online.  Changes requested beyond that will be done on
     a 'as time permits' basis which means they may not happen at all.

  10) Candidates who responds understand that merrimackvotes.org is not
      responsible for hardware, software or any other issue which causes
      the site or specific pages within the site from being available at any
      given time.  Problems will be addressed as they are reported and as time
      permits.
