Watch "Eagan Votes 2014" Now on Eagan Television

Getting ready to vote? Looking for one source for local candidate and election information? Eagan Television (E-TV), your community television provider, is proud to present “Eagan Votes 2014.” The project gives voters the opportunity to learn more about local candidates on TV and online before casting their votes, including non-stop election programming on cable channel 20 beginning Friday, October 31. On election night, watch E-TV for the most current local results after the polls have closed.

Before voting on Election Day, Eagan residents will have the opportunity to learn more about the candidates through E-TV’s “Meet Your Local Candidates” program. Sixteen candidates on the ballot in Eagan participated. Candidates were given three minutes—completely unedited—to explain in their own words why they should be elected. The program began airing October 18 on cable channel 20 and individual videos are also on E-TV’s Election YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/Eaganvotes).

“With ‘Eagan Votes 2014,’ we are able to offer Eagan residents direct access to candidate messages and information through a variety of methods, including on our community television channels and online on our YouTube channel,” said Tom Garrison, Executive Director of E-TV. “With easy access to election information, citizens can empower themselves to be informed voters.”

Two candidate forums, one for Eagan City Council and one for Senate District 51, are airing now on cable channel 15. The forums were sponsored by the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce, and will be broadcast frequently between now and the election.

“Eagan Votes 2014” is a pursuit by the Eagan Television to provide public access information concerning local political races as a service to the public. For the full broadcast schedule of “Eagan Votes 2014” programs and all E-TV programming, visit the E-TV website at www.eagan-tv.com.
