Four election debates will be held in the Lakes District and Central Otago region in the next two days, giving residents and ratepayers the chance to make informed decisions before casting their votes in the coming local body elections.

The Otago-wide debates are organised by the Otago Daily Times in conjunction with the Otago Chamber of Commerce.

Today, a forum will be held in Wanaka at 12.30pm at the Lake Wanaka Centre.

The roadshow continues in Queenstown this evening with 14 candidates standing for six places on the Queenstown Lakes District Council, along with incumbent mayor Vanessa van Uden and challenger Al Angus, of Glenorchy.

The debate will be held at the Queenstown Memorial Centre at 5.30pm.

Central Otago voters will tomorrow have a chance to quiz the two candidates in the running for the mayoralty - incumbent Tony Lepper, vying for a second term, and former Central Otago district councillor Lynley Claridge, who is bidding for the mayoralty for the first time.

They will be taking part in the ODT/Chamber of Commerce mayoral forums at Cromwell at noon, in the Otago Polytechnic's Molyneux Restaurant and at Alexandra at 5.30pm, at the Centennial Court Motor Inn.
