Also, look to Almanac North for information about local elections, including forums between candidates, such as last Friday's forum between House 7B candidates: incumbent Liz Olson and challenger Art Johnston.
Nationally, watch the final scheduled presidential debate of the year this Thursday night at 8pm. (Note: this is updated from the mailed This Month schedule). And, of course, look to PBS NewsHour on PBS North on Tuesday, November 3rd as the results of the election start to come in.
